Donate to the Club
Please Consider Donating to the Club
Our online donation portal is in development and will be in place for the 2024-2025 season.
Please note that SLNC is not a registered charity (we are a BC not-for-profit society), but tax receipts can be issued for some projects through partner charities:
- THE JESS4KIDS SCHOLARSHIP FUND, helps children and youth who would not otherwise be able to afford cross-country skiing or snowshoeing opportunities at Sovereign Lake Nordic Club. Jess4Kids donations are enabled by the Community Foundation of North Okanagan (CFNO) who then pass the funds to us and issue the tax receipt.
Donors can now go on and make an online donation through the CFNO website – through the Donate Now button.
The Jess4kids Scholarship Fund is now an option on the drop-down list– Jess4kids Scholarship Fund
- THE LODGE RENEWAL PROJECT. Nordiq Canada is accepting donations on our behalf and issuing tax receipts. Although the launch of the formal fundraising campaign is still some months off, the Nordiq Canada pathway for donations is open and running – https://app.etapestry.com/onlineforms/Cross-CountrySkidefondCanada/club-donation.html. Note that you can make either a single gift or set up an on-going monthly donation.
If you wish to make a donation to these SLNC initiatives, or for any program or other purpose, please contact our either our volunteer Fundraising Coordinator, Hugh Hamilton, at [email protected] or our General Manager at [email protected].
Thank you

We have created a mobile PDF map that utilizes the GPS functionality of your phone to chart where you are on our trail system, and can even track distances skied and snowshoed throughout your visit. The app and maps are FREE! We recommend that you download the Avenza Trail App on your phone so you will never get lost again! This app does not use your data while in use on trails but you should be on wi-fi to download the app and maps to reduce data consumption.
