World Snow Day was Jan.19 and the Omineca Ski Club was out celebrating in full force. The club had grand opening and a ribbon cutting of their new skill park. The skills park was started by volunteers a few years ago and this past fall they were able to enhance some of the features with support from Kal-tire grants. The grants were specifically for developing skills parks for cross country skiing in B.C. The club received $2300 through the program.

The Lakes District Secondary School girls volleyball team headed to Castlegar for Provincials Nov. 29 - Dec. 1. The girls finished sixteenth and lost all of their games. Coach Steven Little said, “Despite our record I thought that the girls competed hard. We were able to win three sets over the week and force three of our opponents to a third and final set. We ended up playing the team that was ranked first in the tournament and would go on to win the tournament.
