A Lesson in Maintaining “Positivity”

Hi! Katie and Dan here.  We had the great pleasure of leading this week’s #novemberprojectywg workout while our intrepid leaders, Tom and Rick, tore up the fresh powder in Big White, BC took an administrative day.  Needless to say, we knew that we had huge shoes to fill.  Tom and Rick have masterfully led our tribe over the last 9 months and along the way have built an incredible community of amazing and dedicated people.   A big part of our tribe’s success is due to Tom and Rick’s high energy and vibe. Big shoes to fill.  When they asked us to fill in for them this week, we were excited but a bit nervous.  With a little thoughtful planning and a wicked music playlist, however, we were confident that we were up for the task. read more

A Golden Boy for a Golden Day

What a difference a week makes . . . after proving for 8 weeks that we are one of the coldest tribe in the NP family (-35 or worse every week), we finally saw some reprieve this week and stripped off about 5 layers while enjoying the weather which hovered around +1* Celsius – time to go to the beach! The tribe was out in full force, numbers were up to 38, as we saw a few familiar faces who made it out of hibernation. Of course we welcomed them and greeted them the same as those who suffered through the cold months, with huge hugs, fuck ya’s and a workout that didn’t stop kicking our asses for a full 55 mins. read more

“Winnipeg Gone Rogue” gone November Project

Well, here we are, we have arrived, our short 8 year pledge (ok maybe it was only 8 months) process has come to an end and we are proud to be officially part of the November Project family! To say that this past Wednesday morning was awesome would be such an understatement. In addition to the 30 or so crazy, fierce Winnipeggers who showed up for  our 5th straight -37 degree day (interestingly, Celsius or Fahrenheit feels awfully the same at that temperature) , we had 4 surprise guests; Chris, Chloe and Nadim from Edmonton arrived on Tuesday night, parked their dogsleds in the barn and were among the first people down at the Forks Wednesday morning. We were so pumped to see your bright colors, and initially confused but ultimately excited by the sudden presence of Grassroots Gear! read more
