Description
Champlain Heights consists of two parks, a school, a community center, and residential areas. You will visit all of them during this course. There will be two linear courses as usual.
It'll be hard to compete with the previous couple of events, but I hope this course will be better than I am at orienteering (average).
Schedule
TBA Introduction to Orienteering for Beginners
6:30 Starts begin for both courses
8:00 Course Closure, participants must report to the Finish by Course Closure Time.
Courses:
Two courses will be offered, one of which is Shorter/Easier depending on terrain (Beginner), and is appropriate for families.
The other course is Longer/Harder depending on terrain (Advanced).
Safety Precautions:
You may have to cross Champlain Crescent, Blake Street, Maquinna Drive, or more depending on your route and course. Always use caution while crossing streets!
Part of the map for the Advanced course will be in Everett Crowley Park. Some of it is a dog off leash park, be aware.

Champlain Heights Community Center, 3350 Maquinna Drive

Metrotown somewhere, or Romer's Burger Bar? You decide.
