She played a large part in the day-to-day operations and showed immense support for the children and youth in the Jackrabbits program at Sovereign Lake Nordic Club.
The JESS4KIDS Ski Scholarship Fund (Jessica Eaman Ski Scholarship 4 Kids), created in Jessica’s memory, provides funds to children and youth who would not otherwise be able to afford cross-country skiing or snowshoeing opportunities at Sovereign Lake Nordic Club.

As our primary fuel supplier for our snowcats, we have been working with the Armstrong Co-op for a number of years. Back in 2018, they approached us about a 2% back program where any community members could give back to the club by using our Customer Member ID code when purchasing their family fuel. As simple as that is, it is a tremendous opportunity, and an easy way to give back to the ski club. They are big proponents of supporting community small businesses and provide us with $1000 of gas cards annually that are used for giveaways, fundraisers and in appreciation to our volunteers.
Consider purchasing your fuel at Okanagan’s own Armstrong Regional Coop today!
