SPIRIT OF BC WEEK IN HUDSONS HOPE

Hudson's Hope hosted an amazing curling event during Spirit of BC Week. And no one's better to describe the event than the event organizer herself:


"Our curling bonspiel was a great success. We had 13 teams curling & many spectators. The total number of people in attendance was 112. That’s close to 10% of the town!"



"We played two end games on 2 sheets of ice, and used our third sheet for games and practice for the younger players. Half the people there had never curled before, and it was an exciting adventure for them!!"


"It did generate some interest in curling and I would’t be surprised to see our curling clubs numbers up next season. Our youngest curler was 4 and our oldest was 68. Each team played two games, and everybody received a prize. It was an all round great day and everybody left with a smile."

SPIRIT OF BC in Quesnel - The Jackrabbit Meltdown

Looking at these pictures makes me wish I didn't grow up in a big city.

What a dream it would be to live in a community where cross country skiing is the cool thing to do for kids and youth and Spirit of BC week helps you to enjoy it - and encourage it.

Ah, to be a kid again.

This was an official Spirit of BC event - see the arrow pointing to the sign? - and a great idea to ensure physical activity, healthy living, sport, recreation...and maybe a budding Olympic athlete in the world of nordic skiing?

Jackrabbit Meltdown Event

from Sunshine Borsato (the event manager)...

"It was a beautifully sunny day with warm temperatures Saturday, February 17th for the Spirit of BC's Jackrabbit Meltdown Season Finale and the jackrabbits came out in droves for a party on skis. "

"With relay races including an egg and spoon race, horse and buggy race, and obstacle course, the four to thirteeen year old cross country skiers couldn't hide their enthusiasm or spirit for a fun-filled winter season of skiing."

"They concluded the day with a chocolate egg hunt along the ski trails and cake and prizes. Cross country skiing is an excellent way for anyone to enjoy the snow and incredible BC winters. The Jackrabbit Program is a fun-filled kids' program emphasizing fitness, balance, and agility while playing on skis. It is an easy way for families to enjoy BC's winter wonderland."
