  • Wesley Clover Parks Nordic Ski Centre: a Premier Cross-Country Ski Facility
    Wesley Clover Parks Nordic Ski Centre: A Premier Cross-Country Ski Facility Prepared for: Wesley Clover Foundation Prepared by: Kanata Nordic Ski Club, October 2014 Kanata Nordic Ski Club / www.kanatanordic.ca / PO Box 72084 Kanata ON K2K 2P4 / [email protected] Executive Summary Kanata Nordic Ski Club proposes to work closely with Wesley Clover Parks, starting in 2014, to develop a destination Nordic ski centre that will become a major hub for winter activities, with cross-country skiing as a central component. Cross-country skiing is a sport with a light environ- mental footprint that is suitable for all ages and skill levels, starting with parents pulling infants in sleds through to the most senior of citizens. This proposal is for development of premium ski trails on and around the Corkstown plateau, as well as the infrastructure to complement it, including a day lodge. The resulting full-service Nordic ski centre would offer many compatible summer and winter possibilities, including: • snowshoe, interpretive and storybook trails • winter survival skills training • equestrian cross-country trails • orienteering and ski orienteering • children's winter ski play park • winter sport tourism • Para-nordic programs • trail running, duathlons and triathlons • school ski programs • citizen and competitive ski races • weekday and evening ski programs • children’s school break camps This proposal recognizes that Kanata Nordic’s vision must be sustainable and cannot tax Wesley Clover Parks’ financial or operational resources. As such, it presents a three-phase plan and finan- cial model supported by considerable research and fact-finding from comparable facilities. In Phase 1 Kanata Nordic initiates trail development and introduces programs and events to the site.
