Membership Information

The Ottawa Orienteering Club is a non-profit organization entirely managed and financed through the volunteer participation of its members. We enjoy the activities of mapping and event organization and the camaraderie involved in running our club. Many of us enjoy travelling together to other parts of the province, country, and internationally to compete in events on different terrain.

Anyone can participate at our local events but members are entitled to a discount on the entry fees and participate in our Tuesday evening training program. We invite you to become a member and share in the fun!

There are many ways you can get involved with the club's activities and we welcome your help.

At the meet

We are always looking for folks to help with registration, recording starts or finishes, posting results, setting up/taking down the tent and other equipment. No experience necessary!
If you are an experienced orienteer you could also help with picking up controls or, perhaps giving orientation to newcomers.
Setting a course can be very rewarding and will improve your orienteering skill as well. We have certification courses - just email our to indicate your interest.
