| In November 2007, Lappe Biathlon
was founded with a vision of returning the sport of biathlon
back to the Northwestern Ontario region. In March 2008, the
club received its article of incorporation as a not-for-profit
organization, at which time the founding members elected its
first Board of Directors. In May 2009, the Board of Directors
opted to change the name of the club to Lake Superior Biathlon,
allowing expansion of its membership to neighboring communities
outside of the Thunder Bay city limits. |
