Cross Country Ontario has created some colouring pages profiling Ontario skiers who will be competing at the Vancouver Olympics and Paralympic Games — and our two paranordic skiers are included! They are Alex Novikov and Margarita Gorbounova. You’ll also find another local athlete included, Almonte’s Perianne Jones.

Get out your crayons or coloured markers and get inspired:
