The Hazelton Cross-Country Ski Society is very happy to have been awarded a $5,000 grant by the Bulkley Valley Community Foundation.
The funds will go towards helping the HXCSS hire a local contractor to build a grooming attachment for the Suzuki Carry.
The HXCSS and the BVCF share a goal in wanting to enhance the quality of life in our communities. Currently there are no groomed or maintained cross-country ski trails in the communities on Gitxsan Territory. The HXCSS is working towards building a cross-country skiing trail and a grooming program. In addition to cross-country skiing, the trail will be accessible year-round for a variety of activities including snow-biking, snowshoeing, hiking, walking, jogging, and strollering.
The HXCSS believes that increasing recreation opportunities is a powerful way to support and enact change for our communities. We are proud to acknowledge the Bulkley Valley Community Foundation's commitment to supporting our goal.
