Check out our poster and buy some for your club, family and friends.
To order: go to On-Line Materials Ordering on the Youth page.
Posters are $5.00 each, with orders over 20 posters are $2.00 each, and please add $15.00 for shipping.
Sorry for this, but the blame lies with the cost of mailing tubes and postage.
Hint to JR cubs, ordering posters with your JR supplies will reduce the overall postage costs.
Posters will also be available at Highlands Nordic, Fresh Air in Thunder Bay and Kamview Nordic Centre and from Patti Kitler and Liz Inkila for direct cash/cheque purchases.
Cross Country Ontario will share all the proceeds from the poster sales with the athletes.
This Season, Ontario’s Best will compete all over the World.
They will meet their goals head on using the Olympic values of excellence, fun, fairness, respect, and personal growth.
