We can create something unique in Canada, says Kevin Pettersen, a graduate of 蹤獲扞⑹s MBA program, and president of the 1,800-member Caledonia Nordic Ski Club in Prince George, the largest ski club in Western Canada. We have a passionate membership who want to be part of building something that will be here long term. The transformational presence of high-profile athletes, who are also students, will inspire the youth. Were building a strong future for the sport and 蹤獲扞⑹.
The goal is to raise $150,000 by February 2015, which will allow the club to highlight the scholarship at the 2015 Canada Winter Games and provide the first full-tuition scholarship in September 2015.
