Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli was on hand Saturday to announce $434,100 funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to Freestyle Ski Ontario.
Citing the successes of world-class ski and snowboard competitors Kate Pace-Lindsay, Steve Omischl, and Tyler Nicholson, Fedeli says that it is possible to produce world champions in multiple disciplines on Laurentian Ski Hill, and other community hills like it, across the province.
North Bay is one of several communities benefitting from the province-wide grant. North Bay Freestyle is one of eight clubs chosen and has developed new coaches, judges and officials, as well new terrain as a result.
