From the Ottawa Orienteering Club website:
Early in 2010, the OOC Board of Directors decided, in honour of Pat de St Croix, that each year one event would be named the Pat de St Croix Memorial Event and proceeds from this event would be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society. This year the Middle distance event of the Canadian Orienteering Championships was named and we are pleased to say that $640 has been donated.
Pat was a pioneer for orienteering in Canada and served as president of the COF for many years in the 1970's. She and Dick started the Niagara club and when they moved to Ottawa in the early 80's they provided boundless support for our club through mapping, clinics, and event management. Many of you will remember her as the person with the smiling face, always ready to help and welcome a newcomer, perhaps the person who greeted you when you first joined.
