More About Why We Want to Partner with You
Athletic development is a lifelong journey. In endurance sports like cross-country skiing, people often reach their peak performance after years of consistent training—but the benefits of sport go far beyond results. Staying active, connected, and involved in a community fosters joy, resilience, and better health at every stage of life.
Our Support Programs exist to help all participants—from enthusiastic beginners to experienced racers—stay involved in the sport they love. Whether working toward a personal best, learning new skills, racing in a Loppet, qualifying for a varsity or provincial team, or enjoying the camaraderie of local club events, we aim to make participation more affordable and accessible.
We believe every skier strengthens the ski community. By supporting athletes who train, compete, volunteer, mentor, and inspire others, we help create a culture where people of all abilities can thrive.
How Support Comes Back Around
Andy Shields, owner and operator of Skiwax.ca, understands the power of support. Growing up in Waterloo, Ontario, he was a young skier when a partnership between Canadian Wintersports Inc. and his ski club provided essential equipment and wax products. The support from Canadian Winter Sports helped the club create a valuable seasonal equipment rental program and supply the race team with essential wax tools and products giving Andy and his teammates opportunities to race across Canada.
At age 28, Andy purchased Canadian Wintersports. Today, he continues and expands that legacy—supporting clubs and individual athletes through the Athlete Support Program and Club Support Program. His journey shows how investing in athletes doesn’t just help them succeed in the moment—it creates a ripple effect of inspiration and opportunity that lasts for years.
