New Year = Renew Membership! Don't forget you need to renew your membership and sign the waiver before heading out. Come early with $10 if you haven't renewed yet. (And as always, it's only $5 if you're new to orienteering.)
Description / Courses:
This weeks WET will be at Cate's Park in North Vancouver! It is a smaller map so it will be primarily just off paths and trails and in the open park areas. There will be two courses offered a shorter simpler course suitable for beginners and a harder course suitable for advanced and elite orienteers. Both courses will follow a goat format which means for the beginner and elite participants they get to skip one control and for the advanced participants they get to skip two controls!

18:20 Introduction to Orienteering for Beginners

Parking: Is available throughout Cate's Park and in front of where the start is located.
Start/Finish Locations: Will be at the undercover picnic area to the left of the boat launch area as you look at the water.
