Splitboarder receieves funding to advance guiding career
Congratulations to Anna Victoria Bourelle of Nelson, BC, the winner of this year’s scholarship from the Craig Kelly Memorial Fund. Anna heard about the scholarship through other splitboard guides in the industry and plans to use the funds towards courses to advance her guiding career.
“Thanks to Craig Kelly for the life he led and for being such a positive role model to snowboarders in the backcountry and guiding world,” says Anna. “I am proud to be a small part of his legacy and very grateful to have been awarded this scholarship."
We wish Anna all the best in her future guiding career.
The Craig Kelly Memorial Fund was set up in the late snowboarder's name to grant a maximum of $1000 in bursaries each year to individuals enrolled in the Canadian Avalanche Association's Avalanche Operations Level 2 course. Interested applicants must be snowboarders pursuing a career as a guide or as an avalanche professional and must meet the qualification requirements for the course. Click here to learn more.
