How did you first get involved in orienteering?
I first got involved in orienteering by participating in the weekly youth program in Arnprior. I found it was a really fun way to get into the sport, and that program was what led to me joining the club and becoming a regular at all the events. I remember how much I loved the feeling of being in the park with nothing but a map and compass, and that feeling has stuck with me.
If you had one tip for young orienteers, what would it be?
I would highly recommend joining the youth programs, they are amazing for making the process of learning orienteering exciting and fun. Also make sure to come out to lots of different events, because every one is a unique and interesting experience.
