Last week the Salmon Arm Ice Breakers Speed Skating Club was one of eight speed skating clubs in Canada to be awarded a $1,000 bursary as part of the 2015-2016 Podium Tracker program. The bursary was presented by Intact Insurance Company, Speed Skating Canada’s major sponsor. The Intact Podium Tracker Program tracks individual medals won by Canadian short and long track speed skaters in World Cups and World Championships. Intact Insurance then donates $1,000 to a speed skating club in Canada for each athlete who reaches the podium.
