Lost and Found - There were a few awards left on the O-Store table on Sunday and another picked up at the relay. I guess that merchandise is quite distracting with all it's great designs. If you are missing yours reply to web@ottawaoc.ca and we can arrange to return it to you at the COC's.

There were also other items left behind - a chair, childs hoodie and a green sac.  Please see our flickr site.  If you see something of yours email lostfound@ottawaoc.ca

Why?

Why not?

We love the crazy sport of orienteering and want to share that love with you. What better way to do that than with a weekend of competition, food, and friends in one of the nicest times of the year in Ottawa?

That's why our volunteers put thousands of hours into hosting events throughout the year and the O-Fest weekend is no exception. It might be a larger event but we still do it because we love it.
