Biathlon Alberta members,

As some of you know, I'm departing Biathlon Alberta for another opportunity. I wish to thank everyone at Biathlon Alberta for their help and kindness over the past year as I learned on the job. Many thanks go to the Board, local race organizing committees, and all the volunteers and parents who work so hard to make biathlon run in Alberta. Although it sounds corny it's true: we do it all for the athletes.

It was a great year and I leave with many found memories. I wish everyone all the best!
