Update log: 2009-04-09, HM: page created. 2023: page moved to AN. Update history deleted. 2024-10-24, HM: Re-added update log. Changed “20 Mile Race”. Deleted duplicate “Fall Information Meeting” in December (already existed in November.) Changed publish date; was 2013. For another time, it would be good practice to remove all instances of “https://nsc.ca”.
