Orienteering - May 7

We will be competing in teams of two or individually, based on age group. So far, seven cadet corps have RSVP’d to the event. This means that you will be competing against 100 or more other cadets from the sea, air, and army cadet corps in Calgary. More importantly, you will get to meet and enjoy the day with your peers in the Canadian Cadet Movement
