Date Saturday, 6th and Sunday, 7th October, 2012
Location Kitchener (and Milton), Ontario

Kitchener is about two hours from the Buffalo/Niagara border, two and a half from Sarnia/Port Huron border, and one and a half from Toronto. You can read something about the area at Wikipedia.

SPORTident will be used for this event. For those who have not already purchased a SPORTident e-card, they will be available for sale or rent.

Eligibility: These races are open to all-comers, but to place in the Ontario Championships you need to be a resident of Ontario, and be a paid up member of the Canadian Orienteering Federation (COF). Membership in your local club often gets you the latter.
