Nancy Greene - Nat Bosa Bursary
Nancy Greene played an instrumental role in starting the Blackcomb Ski and Snowboard Club and in supporting the Canadian juvenile skier development program. Nancy has continued to be a great supporter of ski racing in Canada over the years. Nat Bosa and his companies have provided both the Whistler Mountain Ski Club and the Blackcomb Ski and Snowboard Club with financial assistance for the construction of both ski cabins and have continued to support the Clubs and some of its athletes over the years.
To recognize the tremendous contributions of Nancy and Nat in support of ski racing at the Blackcomb Ski and Snowboard Club and in the Whistler Valley and as a consequence of our two Clubs coming together, the Directors of the Whistler Mountain Ski Club have created the Nancy Greene/Nat Bosa Bursary pursuant to which $8500 will be made available to support athletes each year. These funds are intended to contribute towards coaching fees, travel expenses, equipment costs and other expenses related to the development of ski racing members of the Club. To qualify an athlete must be an active racing member in a Club program (FIS, J1, K1 K2), BC Team or National Team.
A committee consisting of Glenn Munro and John Cooper has been set up to administer the program this season. Athletes should submit their requests, in confidence, to Glenn Munro, no later than November 30, 2007. Awards will be announced in late December and funds applied to your racer account.
