Cross Country Canada seeks input (from YOU!)

Cross Country Canada Seeks Input 

(From YOU!)

Cross Country Canada (our National Sport Governing Body) reports that they need to change, revitalize, and move in a new direction. Therefore they are looking for input from the entire skiing community via this short survey. CCC says "Please help us revitalize and define this wonderful Canadian sport by being part of this next step."
