About The Foundation
The Bob Gilmour Ski Foundation is a national not-for-profit foundation (charitable registration pending), established in 2025 by Rodney Gilmour, son of Bob Gilmour. The Foundation raises funds to support Canadian amateur alpine skiers, promoting participation, development, and ongoing involvement in skiing and related athletic activities. It funds athlete development programs and works to reduce financial and other barriers to participation.
Who is Bob Gilmour
Bob Gilmour was one of the Laurentians and Canada’s leading alpine racers in the 50s and early 60s. Among his many achievements and victories, he was a member of the Canadian Alpine Ski Team from 1959 to 1962, member of the 1960 Canadian Olympic Team, won the Taschereau downhill race in 1953 as well as the Quebec- Kandahar in 1956.
Get Involved
With your support, BGSF helps Canadian amateur alpine ski athletes, and the coaches who guide them, develop and reach their goals in the sport, from club racing to national teams and beyond. Contributions fund BGSF’s athlete and coach development programs across Canada: ski access and training, club and program fees, training camps and clinics, coach certification and professional development, sports medicine, and competition costs such as race entry fees, travel, accommodation and competition equipment. Funds are paid through ski clubs or course providers, or directly to the athlete or coach when needed, once eligible expenses are documented.
BGSF has applied to the Canada Revenue Agency for registration as a Registered Canadian Amateur Athletic Association (RCAAA). Our registration is pending, and we can’t issue official donation receipts for income tax purposes at this time.
