Ruth Boutilier Award 2021
This year, the Ruth Boutilier Award for shared Passion was presented to Claire Wilson.
Claire has shown her dedication to the sport, not only this year, but since the beginning of her teaching career and her professionalism is second to none. She accepts any task assigned to her, whether it be a beginner lesson or an advanced group with a smile and all of her lessons are delivered with enthusiasm. She is always available to suggest tactics to the newer, less experienced instructors. When assigned an apprentice, Claire involves them in her teaching, explaining her methodology.
When Claire’s students return after their lessons, their smiles are as big as hers!! Claire is always eager to improve her skiing and has aspirations to attain her level 3. Please join in congratulating Claire for this honourable achievement!
The Ruth Boutilier Award for shared Passion was created in 2019 in Ruth’s honour and memory. It is awarded annually to an instructor who has gone above and beyond the normal boundaries of what is expected of a ski instructor. They consistently demonstrate a natural passion for the sport, their desire to share their knowledge with others and they strive to improve their own skills and abilities.

Enjoy our beautiful ski slopes in Ben Eoin, NS
In 1968, a group of enthusiastic, thrill-seeking skiers took their energy and love for the sport from Coxheath to the beautiful hills of Ben Eoin. Their mission was to develop a ski facility for local residents as well as the visiting public.
Through the group’s dedication and tenacity along with funding assistance received from the Cape Breton Development Corporation, community support groups and private donations, their dream became a reality with the official opening of Ski Ben Eoin. Membership dollars were adopted as a vital element in maintaining a ski operation.
