>>2009 World Games
The World Games were in July in Kaohsiung, Chinese Taipei. Based on our results at the World Championships last year, Canada was granted a spot for one male and one female orienteer. The World Games is an international multi-sport event held every fourth year under the auspices of the International World Games Association and under the patronage of the International Olympic Committee. The sports on the programme are all sports that are recognized by the IOC, but aren’t included on the Olympic and Olympic Winter Games. Representing Canada at the World Games were Mike Smith (Prince George) and Sarah Brandreth (Calgary).
