Ski for Light
FEB. 2, 2025 (a Sunday) was the start of this year’s Ski for Light week. Participants met at the Calgary airport to take a bus to Canmore. Lodge members helped participants find the airport room where they were able to store their luggage, have lunch, and meet old friends and new. Thanks go to the airport for supplying a room which was a good size, had kitchen amenities, and was convenient to the bus.
Please consider Ski for Light in your charitable giving. https://skiforlight.ca
