There will be a banquet for Canadian Orienteering Festival 2025 participants, and their guests, at the Ardrossan Recreation Complex on Saturday, August 23 after the COC Middle event. Alongside the banquet there will be a silent auction to raise funds for the Team Canada Program. We hope you will join us!
If you are coming straight from the COC Middle Distance event, there are showers available at the Complex.
