Bonjour/ hello all,

Je sais que beaucoup de moniteurs on déjà parler avec leur superviseure de l’année dernière. I know that many instructors have already spoken with their supervisor from last year. However, you are not listed as Active until we see you in the pro room.

It’s important to be activated with the Academy in general, those of you returning know the deal. If unsure read previous communications.

We need to know whom is here and committed to what days/ evenings.

Still looking for Holiday instructors and those wishing to be available for evening privates. Talk to us this weekend.

Have proof of cert, before coming up, please remember your pass from last year so we can reload it.

Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting our pre course candidates.

A demain, entre 10 et 13 heure, You English guys going to figure that out 😎

All for now

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.

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

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.
