Every year, Sport Nova Scotia holds a gala banquet to present awards to athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers and corporate sponsors to recognize their accomplishments and dedication to sport. The 2023 Awards event will take place on May 27th, in Halifax.
Do you know a cross-country ski club volunteer who went above and beyond for our sport? Club volunteers work tirelessly on the front-lines and behind-the-scenes to ensure Nova Scotians can enjoy our sport. We have groomers, coaches, details keepers, organizers, fundraisers, communicators, equipment managers, and many more who make cross-country skiing special. Nominate a volunteer today.
