Welcome

After missing two years due to Covid-19, the BC Champs are back on Saturday Aug 27 and Sunday Aug 28, 2022. For those of you who attended the recent WCOCs or COCs, you'll be in top shape! For those of you who missed those events, here's a great opportunity for excellent orienteering closer to home (for many people).

Note: Logistics are still being determined, so some things may change slightly. A Bulletin will be sent out closer to the event dates.

Events

Day One will be a Middle event on the brand new "Parkhurst" map. Day Two will kick off with a Sprint event at the recently updated Cheakamus Crossing, followed by a second Middle event at Parkhurst.

The Parkhurst map, next to Whistler's Green Lake, is a smaller area so can't support a Long event, but the complex terrain will make for challenging navigation on a 1:7500 scale. There's even a "Ghost Town" on the map, so we've made that the logo for this year's event. The Cheakamus Crossing map is a combination of intricate trails in a forest setting and neighbourhood streets and open areas.

Fees for events are as follows

  • Middle
    • Adult: $30
    • Youth: $15 (race age < 21)
    • Open: $30
  • Sprint
    • Adult: $20
    • Youth: $10 (race age < 21)
    • Open: $20

Banquet

There will be on Saturday held at the Myrtle Philip Community School, 6195 Lorimer Rd. Doors open around 6pm. We have to be out by 9pm.

UPDATE: Due to problems with original caterer, the menu for the Banquet has changed.

We will be ordering from Freshii.ca. Orders are due by this Saturday, August 20th by 10pm PST. No changes to orders will be possible after this. People who do not place their order in time will have a meal chosen for them and we will not be able to accommodate their dietary restrictions.

You can find specific ingredients on the Freshii website. Please let us know about any dietary restrictions in the comments on the spreadsheet (link below).

Need help with the order and how to use the spreadsheet? Watch this video on YouTube to get a sense of how it works, or download from Google video.

  • Regular, light eaters and children? Choose a bowl OR a wrap. Wraps will not have a protein choice, except the Cobb which has an egg, but bowls do. This should be enough food but if you know you have a high metabolism and don’t want to go hungry, please see the following options. Please use your discretion as we can’t afford to have everyone choose both a bowl and wrap.
  • Protein lover? Choose a bowl with double protein
  • High metabolism? Choose a bowl with ONE protein choice and a wrap.

Choices are as follows:

Bowls: Choose one

  • Tex Mex
  • Mediterranean
  • Teriyaki
  • Buddha
  • Bamboo

Proteins: Choose One OR if you need extra protein, choose the double option but you won’t be eligible for a wrap

  • Chicken
  • Falafel
  • Steak
  • Tofu
  • Two eggs
  • Double Chicken
  • Double Falafel
  • Double Steak
  • Double Tofu

Wraps Still hungry or like wraps better? If you choose a bowl as well as a wrap, you may choose only a single protein in the bowl.

  • Fiesta
  • Kale Caesar
  • Cobb

After you register, you'll get an email with ordering instructions. Do not order from Freshli yourself.

Cost of banquet is as follows

  • Adult: $30 (+ tax)
  • Child (race age < 18 years): $20 (+ tax)
    • Apologies: an earlier version of this page mistakenly said $15

Orienteering BC AGM

This will be held before the banquet, at the Myrtle Philip Community School, 6195 Lorimer Rd. Meeting starts at 5:30pm. Please be on-time so the meeting can end as quickly as possible and the banquet start.

Accommodation

This is always a challenge at Whistler at this very busy time of year, so we have pre-reserved rooms for mandatory two nights (Aug 26 & 27) at the Whistler Athlete's Centre and at the nearby Hostel International, both at Cheakamus Crossing (the location of the banquet and the Sprint event)

Notes:

  • These rooms can only be held until July 26 so it is critical that you register early! Currently hotel rooms in Whistler start at $250 per night (one property) and quickly go to up to $350 per night and above.
  • Any cancellations will be subject to the Lodge and Hostel cancellation policies.
  • Please note all room bookings at Athletes' Centre and Hostel must be made using the BCOC 2022 Registration website. Please do not contact these locations directly to make bookings (this is a change from the way it was done in past)

Locations:

  • Athlete's Centre
  • Hostel
    • Four "private queen" (1-bed) rooms at $320+taxes for two nights (shared bathroom)
    • Twelve "private 4-bed" rooms at $376+taxes for entire room for two nights (shared bathroom)
      • Great value for a family or a small group
      • One person should pay for room when registering and make arrangements to be find, and be reimbursed by, other occupants.
      • Room booker is responsible for entire cost of room.
      • I have set up a "car pooling" website at https://www.groupcarpool.com/t/2vrazp that can be used if wanted. "Drivers" are the people who book the room. "Passengers" are the people who have arranged with the "Driver" to be in the room, or who are looking for a bed

    • Cost is calculated per person of approximately $10 each.
    • Parking may be an additional $10/car.
    • I will calculate the cost once total numbers are known, and have you transfer funds to me.
    • If you want to reserve a spot, email gvoc.bcoc2022@gmail.com with "Group Camping" in the title and stating (can be adjusted up to 11:59pm on Aug 6)
      • Number of tents
      • Total number of people in tents
      • Number of cars
      • Which nights you want to camp - Sat 27th only or both Fri 26 and Sat 27

Club Membership and Waiver

All participants who are not already a GVOC member will need to indicate a club and sign the waiver.
