The new name and branding was developed through extensive research, including online surveys, telephone interviews and names submissions from members and visitors. Over 1,000 participants took part in the process. The facility’s new name is a tribute to a geographical reference from the early 1900’s when local residents referred to the area as “Brimacombe’s Hill.” “Our club has a rich history,” says Mark Rutherford, General Manager, “but the name Oshawa Ski Club has many limitations. We have one of the biggest public facilities in Southern Ontario, yet many people incorrectly think we are a private club or a travelling ski group. Brimacombe is not just a fresh twist on an old name, it’s a reinvention of one of Ontario’s hidden gems.” Additional changes at the ski area this season include the addition of a new terrain park dedicated to beginners and the adoption of a Park Pass system in the Main Park. The winter event line-up includes the return of many popular events, as well as some new additions, including the Red, White & GOLD! Celebration marking the debut of long-time club member, Matt Morison, at the Winter Games in Vancouver. First Frost at the Brim, the official launch party and grand reopening, will take place Sunday, Nov. 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the ski area. The general public is welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
