What is an affiliate club?
An affiliate is a club or program under a Sport Governing Body. Cross Country Yukon (CCY) is the Sport Governing Body for cross country skiing in the Yukon. CCY’s role is to support all affiliated clubs and their programs, with the goal to help grow the love and passion for cross country skiing in the Yukon.
