Event Admins – Clubs can once again manage events on the calendar directly!
A feature that was missing last season in the BC Alpine Club Admin DB has been reintegrated for the upcoming season. Clubs can once again directly manage much of the important info about the events which have been assigned to them including:
- Race Notice: Upload a race notice, or delete / replace the existing race notice.
- Additional Files: Upload one or more additional files to be attached to events. This could include specialized entry information, local accomodation deals, maps, etc.
- Volunteer Sign Up: Enable the built-in volunteer sign up, or link to your own web based volunteer sign up.
- Live Timing Link: Enable live-timing links for your races from the calendar.
- Online Race Entry: Enable the build-in race entry system on raceentry.AlpineCalendar.ca or link to your own web based race entry system.
Important Notes:
- Only members who have CAL ("Calendar") access in the BC Alpine Club Admin DB will find the new "Manage Events" link once they've logged in.
- If any events which are hosted by your club are not showing up in your list, please contact Keven Dubinsky directly to have him make sure you have access.
North American FIS TD Working Group Update in Vancouver Oct 20-22
The North American FIS TD Working Group Update (Western) is being held in Vancouver this year on Oct 20-22 at the Westin Wall Centre Vancouver Airport.
It is a great opportunity to learn of all of the new developments in Alpine Racing and network with the Western FIS group from the USA and Canada. There are 2 days of sessions with new content/rules/scenarios etc and of course social activities including a welcome reception, lunch, dinner. We also have some TD’s from BC who are retiring this year and will be honouring them at our dinner.

Team traveling out of country for summer training? Important information
There have been a few changes to the process for requesting Certificates of CGL Insurance for teams traveling outside of Canada.
Venues generally require a Certificate of Commercial General Liability (CGL) insurance for your team when you are traveling to train. In order for out-of-country training to be covered under the ACA/CSA CGL insurance program, ACA and the CSA must approve all out of country training. This process requires a minimum 2 weeks’ notice for creation and delivery. Please start the process as early as possible.
Please make sure to overview the document "2017-2018 – OVERVIEW – Out of country training insurance" found at http://bcalpine.com/files/Coaching_Files/Out_of_Country_Training/ and contact Keven Dubinsky (kevend@bcalpine.com or 604-678-3074) if you have any additional questions.
2018 Season Registration opens June 10 – Insurance begins July 1, 2017
To start, I would like to recognize that the 2017 season saw the highest registration numbers BC Alpine has on record, with a total of 5,552 members active with us! Good job to all the clubs out there!!
For the 2018 season, BC Alpine will be rolling over our database on June 10th and start accepting registrations from clubs needing insurance for summer training at that time. Your current coverage for members ends on June 30th, so please be sure to have everyone participating in events (coaches and board members included) registered by then. Although no program costs have changed for the upcoming season, SAIP prices have increased. Please view http://bcalpine.com/programFees/ for more information.
IMPORTANT DEADLINE FOR FIS:
FIS members who need to be on the first list must have their registrations in and confirmed with Keven Dubinsky by JUNE 25 in order to make Alpine Canada's deadline to be active for first list without paying an additional $272 for immediate activation.
