“This is fantastic news” states Thomas Schoen, President of the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium. “ Shreddie is a dedicated, hard working volunteer and it is important we recognize the fact. Let me use this opportunity to point out just how significant the importance of volunteer work is to our community, our province and our country. In 2010, about one-half of Canadians contributed their time, energy and skills to groups and organizations such as charities and non-profits. Shreddie started something 20 plus years ago and look at where we are now: Williams Lake is a leading community in the mountain bike world.” “I work closely with Mark, as a trailbuilder, a director for the WL Cycling Club and as the CMBC Chair. The guy is amazing, he’s passionate, full of energy and enthusiasm and he has the ability to motivate an army of volunteers. Way to go Shreddie, glad the mountain bike world is recognizing your efforts.”
