Kevin Eskelin Wins Premier’s Award
June 25, 2011
Smithers Mountain Biking is in the news again!
Our local District Recreation Officer with Recreation Sites and Trails BC, Kevin Eskelin, recently won a Premier’s Award in the innovation category for the work he has done with the SMBA and the Burns Lake Mountain Bike Association (BLMBA). This means that Kevin’s efforts in working with us to legitimize our mountain bike trail network have received provincial recognition. We’re extremely lucky to have such an enthusiastic champion for our cause in the Provincial Government, and we’re looking forward to continuing our work with Kevin in the coming months and years. Smithers truly is becoming a mountain bike destination, and the future is looking bright!
