As many of you may already know, the cross country ski club in Yoho is in trouble and its future is on thin ice. You are receiving this letter because we need everyone to come together in an effort to not let these trails get buried in the deep snow. I firmly believe that Parks Canada should assume responsibility for these trails and maintain them just as they do with all of the hiking trails in the area. My goal is to make them aware of this. Visitors from all over the world come to Yoho, they pay a park pay a fee and come to enjoy the splendour of Yoho’s winter wonderland; it only seems right that Parks Canada offer trails for these visitors to enjoy, just as they do in Lake Louise. For years now, dedicated enthusiastic cross country lovers from Field have been working tirelessly fund raising, maintaining the trails and promoting the area; we can’t keep expecting this of these people. The maintenance of our trails, is the job of Parks Canada. But you are not who I need to convince, you already know this. I would like to encourage you to write to Parks Canada explaining to them why you love to ski the trails in Yoho and or why these trails are important to you. Your letter need not be long, but it can be long. We are about to lose our trails. We can not let this happen. Bellow are the emails you can send your letters to. You can also just send them back to us and we will send them for you on your behalf. Your support as always is so very much appreciated.
