Academy Sad News

One of our long-time instructors has passed, Elgin Marsden. Elgin’s family asked that we let his fellow instructors know.

I know you join me in expressing sympathies to family and friends, Elgin was part of our team for decades, always keen to be of help and wanting to improve his skills as a skier and teacher. Like all of us I believe he was proud to be part of our team.

 There is a service this Tuesday, November 15 at 11 am at St. Thomas the Apostle Church, 2345 Alta Vista Drive in Ottawa.

All for now

Bonjour la gang,

La saison approche et je vais rencontrer les superviseurs bientôt, question de se recauser et ajustée nos plans pour l’entrainement / recrutement ainsi que le pré-stage.

Before going into our winter planning, I would like to thank Denis Lacroix, adult and 101 coordinator. Denis has been with us for many years, as an instructor, supervisor, course conductor and all-around team player.

Denis also was instrumental in creating the Norm Grondin Foundation, to raise funds for deserving TAs and help with cost of their level one course.

Join me in thanking Denis and wishing him a good ski season.

See you on snow Denis 😊

If a TA ( 13 14) please contact TA coordinator maryjohannsen@hotmail.com

New certified instructors

Contact me at  fbernier@campfortune.com  , be sure you read the blog. Take part in the dec training, this is when you get the chance to meet supervisors and learn about the various programs and the operations of our school.

Les journées du 3, 4, 10 et 11 déc., sont très importante pour tous et je vous encourage à y être le plus possible.

The big question is what do we expect?

If a weekend instructor, we expect 1 consistent day per weekend, minimum.

If a weekday instructor. We expect 2 full days per week, minimum.

We may need to guide you to a day where we need more staff.

We do expect you to be available to teach on any given day you are here, if needed.

Academy News July 21

Bonjour à tous,

I wanted to give you an idea of the coming season’s plan.

Les programmes resteront come ils étaient l’année dernière. But #s will be increase slightly.

   Aux leçons privées nous allons permettre au client d’acheter en ligne et ce 7 jours par semaine.

A certain # of lessons per hour, in English or Francais will be scheduled.

In order to meet the demand, we will be asking instructors to state their availabilities in order to know how many we have in; ski, snowboard, English or French on any given day (including evenings) from this we will be able to sell lessons and give a heads-up as to whether or not you have work 24 hrs ahead of time.

Pour être clair ils pourront réservée une leçon et non pas un moniteur. To be clear this system will be in addition to other programs and an instructor can make themselves available one day a week or more or it could be one afternoon / evening a week.

The minimum commitment is still in play, the ability to tell us that you are available at other times will give us a chance to increase your earning potential.

As winter approaches the details will be put forth.

All for now, remember its still summer enjoy 😊
