We've seen these athletes learn to carve an edge, take flight, gain speed, and most of all, turn into stellar human beings. We're proud of their fortitude, dedication, and perseverance over the years and their willingness to be both leaders and supportive teammates. As we send the Class of 2020 out into the world, please give them a hearty congratulations!

Favorite BSF Moment: Three years ago at the Canmore Summer Camp, when I was a U16, my friends and I were riding back to the condos in a van with the U18/U20s. We had the song Electric Pow Wow Drum by A Tribe Called Red blasting as we drove back, and it was hilarious watching tourists’ faces as we drove by. We were all just having a great time and yelling to the chorus of the song.
