After 10 years as volunteer Executive Director, Charlotte is retiring at the end of this month. Orienteering Canada has advanced a lot under Charlotte's leadership and the future looks promising. I for one would like to thank her for everything she's accomplished and her leadership over the last decade.
More details on the
Orienteering Canada website (just one of the many things Charlotte modernized).
Orienteering obviously is always going to be facing challenges of all kinds. But from time to time it is good to reflect on the positive changes that have happened and appreciate the people who have volunteered their time & expertise & energy to create these changes.
During "Charlotte's Time", the changes that stand out the most for me are:
- Creation of the LTAD
- Integration with Canada's sports bodies, especially Sport Canada
- Strong and organized High Performance Program
- National Orienteering Week
- Updated officials program
- Project 5,000 - the expansion of participation
Thanks Char!
