Pro wrestling card in C.R. postponed Friday the 13th turned out to be unlucky – in advance – for the Pure Wrestling Association. The PWA had planned the second annual Carihi Cup for March
13 in Campbell River, but organizers have announced that due to “unforeseen circumstances” the show has been postponed until May.

Eight athletes receive travel grants The Vancouver Island Mountain Sports Society (VIMSS) has awarded eight Vancouver Island athletes with travel grants for the 2014-15 winter season. Alpine skiers Maja Nymann (Campbell River), Cole Anderson (Campbell River) and Clinton Wood along with crosscountry skiers Ross Lamon (Comox), Alec Stapff (Campbell River), Connor McGrady (Comox), Madeleine Guimond (Courtenay) and Tallon Noble (Courtenay) are the recipients. These grants help young athletes to offset the costs associated with traveling off-island for advanced training and competition. In this way, VIMSS seeks to nurture local emerging athletes and help prepare them for provincial, national and international competition. VIMSS alumni are enjoying great success in a variety of mountain sports.

“These grants come at a time when our Island athletes find themselves travelling farther to find snow to train and compete on,” said VIMSS chair Karen Bonell. “With less than ideal conditions it’s even more critical that we continue to help our young athletes with these types of grants. “The annual fundraising Gala event at Raven Lodge is scheduled for April 4 and our goal is to raise $15,000 this year,” continues Bonell. Tickets for the fundraising event can be purchased by emailing events@ vimountaincentre.com Vancouver Island alpine athletes can apply for a grant from VIMSS each year through the online applications form found at vimountaincentre.com. There are many alpine sports that qualify for VIMSS grants including alpine ski/snowboard racing, freestyle skiing/boarding, biathlon, cross-country skiing and downhill mountain biking. – Vancouver Island Mountain Sports Society
