2012 Wednesday Evening Recreational Orienteeering

The Toronto Orienteering Club invites you to orienteer in Toronto city parks. These informal, recreational events are for everyone - there will be courses for both beginners and experienced orienteers. 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! You can start anytime, and go at your own pace, as long as you return by 8:15. Click on each location for a map to the event site.
