The City of Ottawa provides Community Services funding to Kanata Nordic to help offset the costs of grooming public trails at Riverfront Park and the NCC Western Greenbelt.
In 2008 Kanata Nordic received a generous grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to upgrade our trail grooming equipment. For more details about the grant read the Dec. 2008 Kanata Nordic News.
