Coaching Opportunity
The majority of Kanata Nordic programs are volunteer driven and depend on volunteer coordinators and coaches to be able to run. Club subsidized training for volunteers is available, including as ski leaders and in first aid. This is a great opportunity to build your cross-country skills and share your passion for cross-country skiing with others. For more information on coaching training and leader or assistant leader opportunities email the Jackrabbit Coordinator.
