Everyone with an interest in coaching (especially coaching juniors) are welcome. The cost of the workshop will be approximately $40. Ask your club or provincial association if they will sponsor you. The duration of the course will be 7 hours divided into 3 sessions. The main session will be on the Saturday evening (August 15th) and will last 3 hours. The next session will be a 2 hour practical training exercise at the Sass Peepre camp near Hillsborough.

While the Canadian Orienteering Championships (COCs) are still two months away, we wanted to let everyone know that the High Performance Program Silent Auction will be held in conjunction with the banquet on Sunday, August 16. This is the main fundraiser each year for the High Performance Program. The last few years we have brought in around $4000! The money goes directly towards support athletes, such as through helping with training camps and having coaches. Donations from the general orienteering community (and their networks) are very welcome, so we thank you for your consideration and generosity! If you aren’t coming to the COCs, you can arrange to send your item with someone who is (who’s attending is listed here). If you'd like to donate something, but don't have any ideas, here are a few suggestions:
If you have any questions, please email Emily Ross at hppsilentauction AT gmail DOT com. Feel free to let her know if you are planning on bringing something so we can start to get a sense of what items will be donated as well as start hyping some of the big ticket items. Thank you for all of your support of the High Performance Program and we look forward to seeing you in the Maritimes! |
