International Event Teams
New in 2021, Orienteering Canada is separating our International Event Teams (the teams we send to the World and Junior World Orienteering Championships, the World University Orienteering Championships, World Games, and World Cup events) from our Team Canada Program.
The Team Canada Program is the year round program in which we provide coaching and other support to some of Canada’s top orienteers. Athletes can choose to apply to the Team Canada Program if they are interested in receiving that kind of support and being part of a team of athletes and other orienteers that work together to achieve great things.
Athletes do not, however, need to be on Team Canada to be selected to an International Event Team. Selection to these teams are governed by selection policy documents which will be published below once they become available.
