The Foothills Wanderers Orienteering Club will be hosting the 2008 Western Canadian Orienteering Championships the last weekend of June in and around Sundre Alberta, about a 90 min drive NW of Calgary.

Since July 1st Canada Day next year falls on a Tuesday we are calling this weekend of June the Canada Day long weekend. The 2008 WCOC's are scheduled from Saturday June 28 to Monday June 30 with a fun event held the Friday evening June 27 for those of you who arrive the night before.

All the championship events are being run on brand new maps, never used for any other event before. The Middle & Long distances will be on a new map called Coyote Canyon, and the Sprint on a map in the town of Sundre itself. Running on great new maps should be enough by itself to draw you to come to this meet, but there's more. We're in the midst of arranging a lodging site that can suit everyone - including options for bedrooms in a lodge, cabins which can accomodate families, and even space for those that simply want to camp. AND it's probably less than a 10 minute drive from the main Coyote Canyon map itself.

And there will be even more news to come - but we have to save something in reserve. So if you already have bought your 2008 calendar make sure today you mark this weekend reserved for the WCOC's in Sundre. And if you are waiting to get a new calendar under the Christmas tree, you better write in this date as soon as you unwrap it.

Stay tuned for more over the coming months.
