FWOC Forest Meet @ Moose Creek, a TCP Fundraiser!
Andrew M, an FWOC elite athlete and member of Team Canada, is organizing a forest meet on the Moose Creek map. This is an excellent opportunity to get in some forest orienteering prior to the WCOCs in Kelowna the following weekend. It is also an opportunity to support Team Canada athletes who participate in international events on behalf of Orienteering Canada. FWOC will donate $10 per $15 registration fee to TCP.
If you would like to make an additional donation to the TCP you can do that here or through our annual Control Bounty Fundraiser.
There will be four courses offered, from forest beginner to advanced. The map, which was updated in 2021, is just an hour's drive from Calgary! Come out and enjoy this great map on what will hopefully be a beautiful day.
