\nThe Swan Valley Chamber of Commerce held their Annual General Meeting April 4, 2012.
\n<\/br>
\n<\/br><\/br>
\nIt was a great evening with approximately 50 people in attendance, highlighted by Guest Speaker Kathy Fisher and her presentation on Leadership! It was a profound message, one that every Valley resident would have had a keen interest in hearing. The essence, of course was developing Trust and working towards a mutual common interest in making sure the Swan River Valley is the best community in all of Canada to live, work, play and raise a family!<\/p>\n

Thunderhill Ski Club Inc. BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n

It all started in 1967 when the Benito Elks had the foresight to start a ski hill on Thunderhill as their centennial project.<\/p>\n

As the years have progressed, the hill has developed from a rope tow and a few runs in 1967, to that lift being replaced by a 1450 foot fixed T-bar lift in 1977, then more runs and a rope tow were added years later, then the chalet was upgraded. It has been a constant process of improvement for our club members.<\/p>\n

Skip forward to 2012 and our current re-development project. Phase One has involved adding a 1450 foot Doppelmayer Retractable T-bar and more runs bringing the number of runs to 22 with a vertical drop of 400 feet. The longest run is now \u00be of a mile.<\/p>\n

Phase Two of our plan is to replace and upgrade our main lift, the fixed T-bar, with another 1450 foot Doppelmayer Retractable T-bar as well as some equipment and facility additions.<\/p>\n

Thunderhill had over 3000 skier visits, served 1227 students in the school program, and employed 22 people during the 2011\/2012 season.<\/p>\n

We are proud of our extensive list of volunteers and very appreciative of the tremendous support we receive from our donor individuals and businesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
