2010 Wednesday Evening Park Series

The Toronto Orienteering Club invites you to come out to our Wednesday Evening Park Meets series of orienteering events in Toronto city parks. These informal, low-key meets are designed for the orienteering beginner as well as for the more advanced orienteer. If you've never orienteered before, someone will be on-hand to show you the basics. (Beginner Clinics are also available at some Wednesday events.) Come and see how easy it is to start orienteering and enjoy the outdoors this summer. You'll discover how interesting our many beautiful city parks can be while getting some good exercise.

For more information, you can contact the meet director of the event by e-mail (click on the name), or email to Malcolm Goddard (Wednesday Park Series Coordinator).

Registration starts at 6:15 p.m. at the event site (rain or shine.) We have never cancelled an event due to inclement weather! Click on each location for a map to the event site.
