Happy New Year, Orienteers! Why not start 2021 with a little outdoors adventure? Our Independent Orienteering courses are still available for your outdoor pursuits! We particularly recommend our Snow-O at Riverside (good for skis or boots), but really any of our maps are year-round if you don’t mind a little snow! We’ve got courses at:... Goldstick Coronation Laurier Terwillegar Rundle Hawrelak Mill Creek Kinsmen / U of A Strathcona Science Park Dalmuir Blackfoot PRA Riverside West River’s Edge (Ft. Sask) Hermitage (Send an email to Marilyn if you need any of the maps or MapRunF codes!)

Sounds like a fun way to get outdoors! Starts tomorrow.

Another nice thing about our Independent Orienteering? The season doesn’t end when the snow falls! Take the opportunity do do your own Snow-O! Boots, snowshoes, or skis, it’s up to you! Check our website for the info - it’s not too late to sign up! www.orienteer.ab.ca (It’s not like we’ve never orienteered in the snow before... here’s looking at you, April!)

We still have some spots left in our 4-week Kids Run Wild programs starting in November! See www.kidsrunwild.ca for full info and options. These camps combine outdoor physical activity, creative games, and learning new skills! It’s a great way to stay active this winter in a safe way. Register now to save your spot!

Don’t forget! Register by tonight if you want to join in on Sunday. This event runs rain, shine, or snow! https://zone4.ca/register.asp?id=24618&lan=1&cartlevel=1
