Kids on Skis Fundraiser

Sovereign Lake Nordic Club has partnered with Nordiq Canada to get all Canadians on skis. We are looking to raise $5,000 to get a matching $5,000 from Nordiq Canada to purchase new skis for the S’Cool and Bunny/ Jackrabbit programs. Much of our gear is now old and in marginal condition and needs replacing.

If you can donate to help the club please Donate Here.

Nature’s Fare Market 3% Club

We just became a member of Nature’s Fare Markets’ 3% Club – created as an effortless way for us all to give back.

Every time someone from our organization – an employee, member, or volunteer – shops at Nature’s Fare they donate 3%
(before tax) of the total back to us as a tax-free donation. That can add up!

Here’s how it works…

  • Shop at Nature’s Fare Markets, save your receipts and put your receipts in our 3% Club box.
  • Three times a year (in April, August, and December) we total and submit the receipts 
  • Within one month Nature’s Fare sends us a tax-free donation.

So far in 2023 alone, they’ve donated over $44,000 to organizations like ours to show their appreciation for the work we do. By working together we help to keep our community sustainable, healthy, and thriving.

Thank you so much for your support of the 3% Club. 
Please email if you have any questions.

  • If a dog displays inappropriate behaviour (i.e., fear, aggression, etc.) the team will not be permitted to participate.
  • Teams must clean up after themselves during the event.
  • The event organizers reserve the right to not permit a skijor team to participate if deemed to be a risk to the dog itself, other participants or member/general public or to disqualify and/or remove a team for not complying with any of the rules of the event.
  • If a team is removed or disqualified from the event, a refund will not be provided.
