The Canadian orienteering community has been waiting many years for Orienteering Canada's new officials' certification program. Be one of the first people in the country to take the updated program. The goal of the officials' program is to teach best practices for course planning and event direction to orienteering officials across the country.
Who should take this course?
If you have never planned a WET event and would like to try planning one or if you have planned several WETs but want to find out how to make your WET's even better come and join us.
Everyone is welcome! Eventually, we hope that all volunteers organizing WET's will have Level 100 certification
What will I learn?
This course is designed to teach the basic principles of organization and course planning for a WET level event. You will learn how to get the map you need, what software to use to plan your course, how to plan your course, how to update the website and email list and much more!

Parking Information!
Just a heads up that you can park for free tomorrow in the Metrotown Mall parkade. There is an entrance on the curve where Bonsor and Bennett meet. The first and third floors of the parkade have an exit directly to the Firefighters Club (so I'm told...).
