Vanier Park WET

Organizer: Dawn Mooney (Event Director)

Map: Vanier Park

There will be three course options:

A point to point course of approximately 3.5 km and 12 controls appropriate for beginners or anyone who wants to take it easy. (On a point to point course you navigate from control to control in a set order.)
A scatter course of approximately 30 controls. (On a scatter, or score, course you collect as many controls as you can in any order. The winner is the person who collects all of the controls in the shortest amount of time.)
A combo course where you navigate the 12-control point to point course in order, and also collect approximately 20 additional scattered controls in any order along the way.

Registration deadline is Tuesday (May 13) at midnight. Please register by then to guarantee yourself a map.

Meet at the public washroom building at the northern foot of Maple St in Kits Point.
There is paid parking at several nearby lots at the Maritime Museum, Kits Beach, and the Planetarium.

Wednesday Evening Training

What should I bring? Wear something comfortable that you don't mind getting a little dirty! If it's wet outside, you might want to consider a change of shoes and socks! A headlamp or flashlight and reflective clothing is critical in the winter months (late September to April). A compass is optional (we have extra ones for borrowing). For added safety, a whistle is mandatory for all GVOC events. Read more in the WET Introduction to Orienteering.

When should I sign up? Please sign up by Tuesday night so that we can print enough maps, although we have extra maps if you forget.

How much does it cost? All WETs are free with yearly membership.

Club membership: See details on the club home page. Please complete before your first event!
