“For 15 years, we have been thrilled to see so many young people from across the region push themselves and celebrate sportsmanship together. Each year, the Grand Nord Cross-Country Run reminds us of the strength of our community and the importance of promoting physical activity and teamwork among our students,” said Dan Beaulne, organizer and teacher at École secondaire Macdonald-Cartier.

The Conseil scolaire du Grand Nord warmly thanks the organizers, volunteers, and Kivi Park, without whom this event would not have been possible. It also congratulates all the students for their commitment, energy, and outstanding sportsmanship.
