On behalf of the
Northern Cancer Foundation, I want to extend a
heart-felt thank you for your commitment to making
the Cross Out Cancer Ski Loppet event so successful.
We are extremely proud of this first-time event
and are really excited to see the rest of the
MOVE - Kivi Park Fitness Series grow.
Your generous contribution will make our vision
a reality by helping us raise much needed funds
for local cancer care.
As we continue to grow as a local
foundation, please know that your support for
events like the Cross Out Cancer Ski Loppet plays
a vital role in supporting the Northern Cancer
Foundation with funds for the Northeast Cancer
Centre.
A huge thank you to Brent Wohlberg
from Artifact Media for this fantastic video (link
above) from Sunday’s event! I’m sure
you will find yourself in there!!
Thank you!

The
snow and extreme cold were no barriers for the
many local families that came out to move for
The Kivi Park Fitness Series.
Northern Cancer Foundation (NCF)
has partnered up with Kivi Park to host a series
of outdoor events that will ensure our community
remains active throughout the winter.
“We are trying to promote
activity, because one of the things to improving
your chances of not getting cancer is to lead
an active lifestyle, and exercising and doing
things outside is part of that,” Tannys
Laughren, executive director of Northern Cancer
Foundation, said, “And also we wanted to
get the entire family involved, so parents don’t
have to leave their kids home and the kids can
be active, too.”
Today's event, the Cross Out Cancer
Ski Loppet, offered three different races, a one-km
race for kids, a five-km race and a 15-km race
with all routes taking place on the groomed trails
of Kivi Park.
The next event in line for the
fitness series is a snowshoe run on March 4 with
other events like cancer centre walk/run/bike
for hope, a mud run, stand-up paddleboard race
and mountain bike race to close the series.

Kivi Park
Hosts Inaugural Ski Loppet – A Hidden
Gem - by Sara McIlraith
Whether
you have run, hiked, biked, skied or walked
your dog, chances are you’ve had the
opportunity to enjoy this new park in our
city. Our Rocks!!! Wednesday night group
runs have even been held on the Kivi trails.
The beauty of Kivi Park is its accessibility.
There are trails for every level, from wide
gravel paths even rollerskis can use to
challenging steep single track sections.
The Northern
Cancer Foundation has tapped into the enthusiasm
of Kivi with their MOVE Fitness Series.
Like an off-road version of the Sudbury
Fitness Challenge series, this series also
focuses on getting Sudburians active and
challenging themselves at any level. All
6 events are held at Kivi park. The first
event of the MOVE series, the Cross Out
Cancer Ski Loppet, was held this past Sunday.
A ski loppet,
by definition, is "a recreational mass
participation classic cross-country ski
event”. While some skiers take it
very seriously, the heart of the loppet
is participation. The Kivi Park loppet featured
a kids 1k distance, as well as a 5k and
15k. The trails were groomed to perfection,
2 tracks set around the entire 5k loop.
Local ski legend Bob Hanson planned an interesting
course with enough to challenge every skier,
but nothing too technical. No herringbone
required.

The
largest race, by far, was the kids
event. I love seeing kids enjoying
skiing. It is a lifelong sport that
never ceases to challenge and reward
you. Developing a love of skiing at
a young age will set the foundations
for a lifelong athlete. With arms
and legs flying, the kids rallied
for positions out the start gate.
The course finishes with a small downhill.
You could feel the energy from the
smiles on their faces as they tucked
down the hill trying to squeeze out
every last bit of speed.
Next
up was the 5 and 15k events. I finished
my warmup, and headed to the start
line. Looking around, I was panicked
that I had missed the start. Tim Tindall
assured me that I had not, and that
there was just a very small gathering
of skiers taking part. It always makes
me sad when only a few souls make
the effort to get out and participate.
I know first-hand the effort involved
in putting on a fitness event. We
organize these events because we believe
in the physical and mental benefits
of taking part. We provide an opportunity
to challenge yourself, motivate you
to be and stay active, and a time
to get together and have fun with
your fitness community.
While
we were a small group, everyone who
came skied their hearts out. From
those of you trying desperately to
keep up with Jody Waddell towing his
son in the pulk, to us long haul distance
junkies hoping our lungs don’t
implode on the 3rd time climbing the
steep hill, we finished with a huge
feeling of accomplishment. Something
that is reserved for those times you
put yourself out there and try your
best. And for me, the loppet provided
the opportunity to ski beside Colin
Cameron, heading to the Olympics to
race this month, and Tim Tindall,
former OFSAA ski champion.
I
hope that Kivi Park continues to host
ski loppets, and that maybe next year
I will line up with a huge crowd of
excited skiers looking for that sense
of accomplishment.

York University
Open Indoor Track Meet
Feb 2, 2018
"Liam Pedersen1" (wearing the "V")
The Laurentian
indoor track team competed at the York University
Indoor Track Meet this weekend, returning with
two medals, one OUA qualifying standard, one
school record and seven personal-best performances.
The women’s 1500m was
notable, with Heidi Tuszkiewicz placing 2nd
with a 4-second personal best time of 4:38.51.
Nicole Rich also set a 4-second personal best,
4:49.48, to qualify for the OUA Championships,
and Megan Crocker set a 6-second season best
time of 4:44.05 to place 6th.
The women’s 4 x 800m relay
team placed 1st with a school record time of
9:37.52, shattering the old record by over 23
seconds.
In all, personal best times
were run by Danielle Roy, Esther Nabatanzi,
Heidi Tuszkiewicz, Nicole Rich, Kelsey Lefebvre,
Jarod Milford and the 4 x 800m relay.
Over 600 athletes from twelve
universities competed, including Brock, Guelph,
Laurier, McMaster, RMC, Ryerson, Toronto, Waterloo,
Windsor, Laurentian, York and Alberta’s
MacEwan University. Open athletes from 43 track
clubs were also involved.
“Many of our runners have
already qualified for the OUA’s,”
said head coach, Dick Moss. “So, their
goal in this meet was to improve their times
and set personal bests. We did a lot of good
work today.”
The Laurentian track team's
next event is the Carleton Last Chance Meet
in two weeks, followed by the OUA championships
the week after.
