The 2026 orienteering season is only 2 months away, and our Event Coordinator Jim has been busy putting together the schedule for this year.
We are planning on hosting 23 drop-in events starting April 15 at Jackie Parker Park. The list of locations may yet change a little as Event Directors sign-on but you can expect a full season of orienteering adventure across Edmonton and around the capital region.

In addition to our regular city events, we will have a full slate of forest events this year. So far we have three events planned for the spring, as follows:
- 3 May – Blackfoot Central – re-run of the Canadian Orienteering Championship courses
- 9 May – Morningside
- 30 May – Bruderheim
Summer will be full of A and B events across the country, but we would like to host a few more forest events in the late summer or fall.
If you are an O200 or O300 official and are interested in planning a fall forest event, please let us know. We can negotiate dates and locations to suit.
If you are an O100 level official and would like to gain forest experience to help prepare you for upgrading to O200 or just for fun, also let me know and we will arrange an “apprenticeship”. This could be for either spring or fall events.
