Toy Drive for Playschool

It’s that time of year again!

Do you have toys that are no longer in use by your children and grandchildren? The BVSC Playschool could use some additions to their toy chest to keep little ones happy and occupied. Our Play School is Club to Infants 6 months – Kids Age 6.

The infants are looking for activity saucers, age-appropriate dolls, trucks and large-piece puzzles or stacking toys.

The older children would love to have books, puzzles, table toys and dress-up clothes. The boys are very interested in large trucks, bulldozers and blocks.

Please check your cupboards for toys before November 19th and bring them with you on the AGM/ Ski Swap day to drop off with at Playschool between 10 & 2pm.

The children will be delighted.

Zachary Mayne selected by Alpine Ontario to Men’s Ontario Ski Team

Zachary Mayne, a former BVSC skier and racer, has been selected by Alpine Ontario to be a member of the Men’s Ontario Ski Team (OST) for the upcoming 2016-17 season. Zachary joins 8 other members of the men’s team and is one of the three 16 year old members on the team. Alpine Ontario describes the OST as “a high performance team representing the fastest group of alpine ski racers in Ontario, who are training year round, in pursuit of earning a spot on the Canadian Alpine Ski Team”. The team will commence dryland training in July and will have their first “on snow” training in Saas Fe, Switzerland in August. They will return to Europe in October to Stubai, Austria’s largest glacier ski resort and then complete pre-season ski training at Nakiska, AB in November.

Zachary started skiing at BVSC when he was 2 1/2 years old, he began racing at Beaver Valley when he was 6 in the Nancy Green league, and continued racing at BVSC for the next 6 years, up to and including the K1 individual program.

Congratulations Zachary!
