INVITATION INFORMATION
The Host Community Brookvale is a provincial park located in central Prince Edward Island. The venue lies approximately 25 kilometers West of Charlottetown the Provincial Capital and a similar distance from Borden - Carlton, the gateway to PEI.
The Venue The Brookvale Provincial Park Biathlon facility is located a short distance (1 km) from the downhill ski site and is the home to both the Cross Country and Biathlon venues. Built prior to hosting the Canada Winter Games in 1991, the range has undergone several upgrades in 2008 and again in 2010 and now has a shooting range of 24 mechanical targets. The course consists of all the required lengths of trails and varying degrees of difficulty. At the time of the event, the average daytime temperatures are expected to vary between minus 15 to 0 degrees C with approximately 30 centimeters of snow on the ground.
