Discussion: COF Conference - Aug 20-23 (during Canadian Champs week)

The COF board of directors has put together an enticing schedule of speakers and discussion panels. All sessions take place during the Canadian Champs week, in beautiful (and very small) downtown Alma, New Brunswick. The COF conference is an ideal opportunity to bring together North American orienteers to share information and to learn from interesting, topical speakers. It's also a great time to learn about and get involved with the priorities and projects of the COF.

Schedule:
The conference starts just after the Sass Peepre National Junior Training Camp finishes so participation in both is feasible and encouraged.
