What is Orienteering?

Orienteering is an outdoor adventure activity involving cross-country navigation by foot over unknown terrain, using a map and a compass. It is enjoyed as a relaxing recreation, or as a challenging competitive sport.

Local clubs put on regular events in parks, wilderness and even urban areas. At these events, you will find several orienteering courses designed to challenge anyone from recreational enthusiast to competitive orienteer.

If you have a love of the outdoors and enjoy map reading, come give this exciting activity a try. All you need is a compass and a whistle.

This website is intended to provide general information about orienteering in BC and help you connect with an orienteering club to find orienteering events in your area.

The Alberta Orienteering Association is currently looking for Canadian mappers who have extensive experience producing top quality orienteering maps (OCAD) to the latest ISOM and ISSOM standards to work on different projects in Alberta and BC during the summer of 2012, for a period of 8 weeks. The hourly pay rate will be $25.01.

The specifics areas where we want to map are still to be determined.

The mappers will be coordinated by the Alberta Orienteering Association.

If you are an interested mapper, and you have the experience send your resume at pascale@orienteeringalberta.ca
