ATHLETES ROLL OF HONOUR
The ' Protocol for the Naming of Trails and other Features' was approved at an executive meeting in 2005 and has now been in effect for some time (see attachment ). The ' Athletes Roll of Honour', a development arising from this protocol, is presently being worked on by a committee of 3 club members: Dianne Strimbold, Noel Dicker and Bob Saul.
As a club we have no official record of skiers whose outstanding racing achievement is deserving of recognition on a 'Roll of Honour'. We have been obliged therefore to rely on other sources of information such as Cross Country Canada records, Cross Country B.C. records, newspaper reports and the memory of O.S.C. members --- not an easy task, as you might imagine, especially when we have a history going back to 1927!
However, we do now have a provisional list of names which we are posting for your attention ( see below). We would like to emphasize that this is likely not yet a complete or final list. If we have overlooked the name of a skier who satisfies the requirements or if there is an error of detail, we would like to hear from you now before the Honour Roll is mounted in the club lodge! Please remember that the requirements for inclusion are...
the skier must have:
i) represented Canada at an Olympic Games
or ii) won a medal at a Canadian National Championship
or iii) been a member of the B.C Team (not Development/Talent Squad --- these will be recognized in a record book to be developed in the near future).
