Resolute Sponsors 8 km Family Mini-Loppet in Thunder Bay, Ontario

On March 2, 2019, skiers from across Canada and the United States took to the trails to participate in the 2019 Sleeping Giant Loppet, a multi-event mass participation cross-country ski festival that takes place in the beautiful wilderness setting of the Sleeping Giant Provincial Park in Thunder Bay, Ontario. With 739 participants, the Loppet is one of the highest attended winter events in northwestern Ontario. This year, Resolute proudly sponsored the 8 km Family Mini-Loppet, a fun-filled event for families and recreational skiers of all ages and skills. 

Sporting snappy matching Resolute racing tuques, many Resolute employees, retirees and their families came out in full force to enjoy the event as competitors, participants, and much needed and appreciated volunteers. Team Resolute even brought home an award for the lowest combined time for members participating in all four events (50 km, 35 km, 20 km and 8 km). 

Way to go, Team Resolute!
