Caledonia looking to expand

PRINCE GEORGE – The Caledonia Nordic Ski Club currently operates away. It’s a piece of land that is 436 hectares in size, of which 120 hectares is private land that is accessed by way of a goodwill agreement with a property owner to the West. But the future of that land is in question and the club is looking to expand to the west side of Cranbrook Hill.

“We had a a survey when we started thinking about expanding into a longer trail system, like we call it a touring trail system. And so we looked for available land and this is really “We’re completely surrounded by private property, except for that sort of half-a-mile interface that goes down the Greenway. So it’s the only place to go. And so that’s and I’ve looked at it fairly carefully winter, summer, snowshoeing, whatever, and it’s very appropriate. Good ski terrain.”

The club has sought and received letters of support from the City of Prince George, the Regional District of Fraser, Fort George, and the Lheidli T’enneh. “They’re not looking for a whole pile of property,” says Chief Dolleen Logan. “It’s a community-based company. It’s all about Prince George and all of them getting everyone out to exercise year-round. And it’s it’s a beautiful place, beautiful area.”
