The Summerland Skating Club received a happy surprise back in November with awards dedicated to the club’s skating community.
The Skate Canada BC/Yukon region appoints a few select nominees around the section who are appointed by their clubs, coaches or board members. Out of all nominees, one individual is picked from the region (Summerland being the entire of the Okanagan region) as the winner.
