Cross Country Canada (CCC) is committed to helping university aged skiers to enhance their involvement
in their sport by providing financial assistance for coaching and officiating courses. With this type of
training, former athletes will be well-positioned to join a local ski club and become a knowledgeable
volunteer and leader. Those who are not currently active racers also have a vehicle to become more
involved in the sport.
The grant will be paid to the student if he/she has had to pay for the course out of his/her pocket.
If the cost of the course which the student took was paid for by the hosting club or division, then the grant
will be paid directly to the hosting organization.
