Kawartha Nordic has partnered with Lakefield College School to offer a number of races in the coming weeks, and we could really use your assistance.

Races are exciting to watch and even more exciting to be a part of. Most roles involve simple, clear tasks and no experience, plus training is provided.

If you might be interested, please check out our iVolunteer pages for more details on roles and shifts to see if this may work for you.

• iVolunteer sign-up for OCup 5 / LCS Cup 17-19 Feb 2023 at Lakefield College School
• iVolunteer sign-up for OFSAA Nordic Championship 22-24 Feb 2023 at Lakefield College School

We also have two other upcoming races, if you would like to get some volunteer experience in advance of the OCup or OFSAA. These races don't have an iVolunteer sign-up as they are less formal and smaller events. Send a message to cscott@lcs.on.ca if you would like to join us for either or both. 

• LCS Invitational 8 Feb 2023 at Lakefield College School
• CISAA/COSSA/LOSSA Championship 15 Feb 2023 at Kawartha Nordic

The two larger events are both sponsored by Wild Rock Outfitters, and include coffee, snacks and lunch for volunteers.

Please note that weather sometimes forces changes to race dates and schedules.

To help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and our carbon footprint, Kawartha Nordic has setup a pilot carpooling website to help faciliate carpools to and from the club. This will also help alleviate pressure on the parking lot which can get very busy on weekends. Visit the carpooling page for more information!
