During fall work parties, volunteers at Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre completed wood-bucking, splitting and stacking for all four buildings, above. They also installed new slip-resistant flooring generously donated by Trevor with Peak Play Consulting in the old day lodge.

Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre struggled with later-than-normal early season snowfall but finally got its core network of trails open for cross-country skiers.

"We have not received any significant snow in the last two weeks but the conditions are fantastic on the trails we have open. And there is lots of room to come up to enjoy a ski and spread out on the trails," said general manager Wendy Shannon.
