MT. Seymour is offering five low-income, Lower Mainland Grade 3 classes the opportunity to try skiing and snowboarding for free.
According to a press release, the scholarships, funded by the sale of chairs from the old Mystery Peak chairlift, offers children the opportunity to experience a day of skiing and snowboarding who would otherwise not be able to do so.
The scholarship, based around 40 students, includes: a full day lesson program of four hours of ski/snowboard lessons including lift ticket and rentals; transport to and from the school to Mt. Seymour; and lunch.
To be eligible, Grade 3 classes must be located within the Lower Mainland, studying the B.C. curriculum, never taken a field trip to Mt. Seymour and part of a low-income school.
Applications close on Dec. 14. For more information or to apply for the scholarship, phone 604-986-2261, ext. 215 or email [email protected].
