Over 170 young skiers registered for the CPR Ski Tournament hosted by Menihek Nordic in Labrador City. It was a great event and heaps of accolades go to CPR (Canadian Pacific Railways) for sending such a great ambassador for cross country skiing in Three Time Olympain, Milaine Thériault. She certainly had an excellent time and everyone enjoyed having her here.

From greeting Milaine at the airport, to the assembly at JRS Middle School, to interviews by the press and on the French radio station CJRM, to the Meet and Greet sponsored by both Labrador City and Wabush , her meeting the Hon. Premier Danny Williams, skiing with all the kids, the Banquet and Awards at the Royal Canadian Legion with over 200 in attendance, it was all such a beautiful event.
Milaine and the kids are off to the races!
