2025 Wednesday Evening Training (WET)



Thanks everyone for your interest in attending the WET series! We are looking forward to a good summer of orienteering. Our goal is to maintain weekly activities for everyone to enjoy along with giving new organizers a chance to try out planning an orienteering session. Mostly, this is a chance to expand your knowledge about orienteering and practice new skills in a fun atmosphere, so here are a few resources to help you:

1. Learn Orienteering - a comprehensive learning website that explains basic and advanced orienteering skills using helpful videos.

2. RouteGadget - Orienteering Canada - this database contains lots of past orienteering events along with GPS routes - great tool to analyze performance and practice route choice. Look here for an explanation on how to use this resource: Learn Orienteering Route Gadget

3. Maprunner CD Quiz - wanting to become more expert at control description (CD) symbols? This online quiz lets you practice identifying IOF symbols and map symbols in a fun format to challenge you

4. Orienteering Event Organizer Handbook - this handbook contains valuable info on how to organize and plan an orienteering event. Highly recommended read for those who have volunteered to run a session.
