Secretary – Danielle Froese

Danielle has been cross-country skiing recreationally since childhood.  After a brief foray into downhill skiing in high school, she re-discovered the delights of cross-country skiing in her 20’s and continues to look forward to getting back on the snow for fresh air and exercise every winter. 

Danielle joined SNSC around 2010, after moving to the Island and hearing about the SNSC Masters Recreational Programs where she was excited to finally learn to skate ski.  Danielle and her family have enjoyed many SNSC programs over the years, including Rabbits, Devos, and yet more Masters lessons for her and her husband in an increasingly futile attempt to keep up with their children. 

Danielle enjoys cross-country skiing for the pure joy of exercising outdoors in a winter wonderland.  She’s happy to have found a flexible way to give back to the Club in a way that works with her family and work life. 

In her free time, Danielle also enjoys hiking, biking, reading, and knitting. 

Treasurer - Debbie Wright

Dr. Debbie Wright obtained her Bachelors of Science (Kinesiology) at Simon Fraser University, where she was a member of the Varsity Swimming team. She then attended and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto.

When not chasing around after her 12-year old daughter and 10-year old son, she can be found on the slopes of Mount Washington, the mountain bike trails of Cumberland or the warm waters of the Salish Sea

Membership Director – Jim Meldrum

I seek all things snow, and especially if they involve 2 skis and some poles! I grew up skiing, became an alpine instructor while in school, then I taught adaptive alpine ski programs at Cypress and later Mt Washington. I telemark ski, backcountry ski and alpine ski and I find a special joy in a groomed Nordic ski track with a light dusting of fresh snow on top!  I joined Strathcona Nordics in 2018 when one of my two sons expressed an interest. Since then our family of 4 hasn't looked back! Both of my boys are in race programs and my wife and I help out with races as officials and participate in Masters recreational programs. Above all we love the community spirit that this club offers.
