WELCOME TO 1992 A HAPPY NEW YEAR

AND BEST EVER '0' SEASON TO ALL This issue of ORIENTEERING CANADA "kicks oft not one but TWO of the most exciting years for orienteering in North America culminating with the 1993 World Championships (WOC) in the U.S.

The 1993 WOC will be held in the North Eastern part of the U.S. in early October. This will be the first time that the WOC will have been held in North America.

1992 being the lead-up year to the WOC will see most of the top competitors travelling to North America to train

and compete in preparation for 1993. Part of this prepara-tion will be two World Cup competitions in Canada and the U.S. in October of this year.

1992 also sees the return of the Canadian Championships to the wonderful "sandhills" of South Western Manitoba. This will be the 3rd COCs held in this region in the past 10 years and it may be several years before non-Manito-bans have another opportunity to compete in this unique terrain.

In addition, this year the biennial North American Champ-ionships will be held in the U.S. It is scheduled for early November, near Washington, D.C.

The 1993 COCs will be held in New Brunswick in late August. It is anticipated that there will be many European orienteers spending extended vacations in North America in 1993 to compete and attend the WOCs. It is hoped some overseas visitors will include the COC in their itinerary.

The above major events represent only the "tip of the iceberg" of orienteering activities across Canada. For the majority of our members the local 13' meets, Wednesday evening meets in city parks plus the bigger 'V meets or provincial championships satisfies their "0" needs. This is one of the main attributes of orienteering - you can tailor your level of involvement to whatever you wish. The important thing is just the joy of being in the outdoors doing something you enjoy.

Future issues of ORIENTEERING CANADA will include the details of these and other exciting events. In order to continue receiving your copy of ORIENTEERING CANADA, it is necessary to be a member of your associa-tion and COF. Renew your 1992 membership now and ensure receiving the Spring issue (April 1992) which will include all COC information.

PRESIDENT'S NICHE by Jack Forsyth

As your President, it was a pleasure to again chair the Annual Meeting held the Remembrance Day weekend in Ottawa. There was a free exchange of ideas and views with the common thread of promoting Orienteering to our members. While all decisions were not made in unanimous fashion, it was interesting to see that the associations, while concerned about their own interests, did present a broader outlook for the good of your national federation.

My compliments to re-elected Board members, George Murphy and Winnie Stott, who along with Treasurer Jim Lee and Board members Stig Skarborn and Scott Donald make up the coming year's Board.

My sincere thanks to retiring Board member, Julie DePass, for all her work. Julie's involvement in promotion and

development, including her work in COF workshops was certainly an asset to Orienteering in Canada. Her en-thusiasm for and knowledge of the sport provided a significant contribution to the Board of COF.

Conn and I attended Sport Forum II in Ottawa, Oct. 25-27. Over 200 delegates representing most National Sport Federations spent 3 days planning a future vision for sport in Canada. Sport is in transition and the sport community is taking the leadership role in charting its own destiny. The Federal Government is actively involved in a participa-tory role to help determine their future level of involve-ment.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of COF and myself, I would like to wish you all Seasons Greetings and we look forward to seeing you at meets in the coming year.

1991 SILVA AWARD - A TRIPLE PLAY —

This year's Silva Award went not to one, not two, but THREE deserving winners - nude Stott, Jim Lee and Stig Skarborn.

The nominations were ranked independently by three COF Directors and their rankings given to the COF President. The result - a 3-way tie. Rather than try to determine one winner, Mr. Forsyth decided that all three were worthy recipients and should share the honour. The winners' names will be engraved on an individual medallion to be kept by each winner. The Silva trophy will be retained by each winner for a four month period.

The documentation supporting each nomination included:

WINNIE STOTT: "Few Canadians have given as generously to the Sport of Orienteering as Winnie Stott. Her efforts have benefited hundreds and all levels from beginners to champions. She has organized provincial and national championships. This year she was involved in both the Ontario and Canadian Relay Championships as well as organizing the National Team Selection Races, She has written two books Armchair Orienteering I and II.

"Winnie has produced many school yard and park maps as well as five-colour maps for school use - all without compensation. Winnie has popularized many fun "0" events in the York Region - these include: Easter Egg Hunts, Christmas Walks, Hallowe'en events and was the prime force behind the introduction of String Courses in Canada.

"As well as being very involved with the Forest Adventurers of York 0. Club, she served as editor of ORIENTEERING CANADA for seven years and editor of the I.O.F. magazine, I.O.F. REPORT, for two years, She has attained Level II status in the National Coaching Certification Program and is a Level 4 Official. She has served on the COF Board of Directors for the past two years, with her current respon-sibility being Vice President, National Teams."

JIM LEE: "Jim has been an active participant and ener-getic leader in the sport and has been an integral part of the provincial orienteering scene for the past 20 years.

"Jim has served on the board of the Manitoba Association for 16 year in a variety of capacities - President, Vice President, Treasurer, Membership Chairman, Technical Chairman. In addition, he has been a member of the COF Board of Directors for the past four years - 2 years as Vice President of Standards and is currently the Federation Treasurer. Prior to being elected to the Board he was a member of the COF Technical Committee for several years.

"Jim is a Level 4 Official and has been course planner and controller for several major championships including the 1982, 1985 and 1988 Canadian Championships; 1979, 1981

and 1987 Western Canadian. Championships and the 1988 Trans Atlantic Cup.

"In his professional position as teacher, he has implemented a school based course in orienteering and sets courses and organizes meets for his own school and also for other schools in the surrounding area.'

STJG SKARBORN: "A dedicated leader to the sport of orienteering at all levels. An active competitor who has been committed to the operations of Orienteering New Brunswick for almost 10 years. Whatever he does he approaches with complete dedication. When a vacuum is perceived he does his utmost to fill the void.

"Stig has been able to brave the halls of government bureaucracy and largely due to his efforts ONB enjoys a good relationship with the provincial sports ministry and have been able to receive a generous portion of available funds.

"Stig has held position on the ONB executive for almost ten years and has served as President. Currently he is Vice President and also responsible for publicity. Regardless of the position he is always a leader. Last year he was elected a Director of COF. One of his main attributes is in encouraging new blood to take a more active role in the operating requirements of orienteering."

SILVA ORIENTEERING CHALLENGE AWARD

The Silva Award was established to honour deserving leaders or active orienteers who have contributed in a special way to the development of orienteering.

Nominations may be made by provincial associations, clubs or individual members of the C.O.F.

All current members are eligible for nomination except paid employees.

FOREST PEARSON - YUKON'S "MALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR"

By Ross Burnett

1991 Canadian H17-18 Champion, Forest Pearson of Whitehorse, has been named Yukon's *Male Athlete of the Year* based upon his excellent results this year and his volunteer involvement with the sport. Forest was unable to attend the awards ceremony as he is attending the University of Alaska at Fairbanks where he is in his first year of Geological Engineering. His father, Ron, accepted the award on his behalf and thanked Sport Yukon for the athletic opportunities it helps provide.

This past season Forest won the H1748 category in the Alberta, Western Canadian and Canadian Championships. He also finished second in the Quebec Championships. As a member of the National Development Squad, he com-peted in the 1991 Junior World Championships in Berlin and the German 5-Day Competition in Uslar. His best result was in the 13.3 km Junior World Championship "Classic" event in which he placed 95th (2nd Canadian) of 120 runners.

An all round athlete, Forest was also a member of the Yukon Team at Canada's Winter Games in Prince Edward Island competing in the Biathlon events.

Besides competing, Forest also helps organize one or two meets a season in Whitehorse and is working towards

completion of the practical component of the National Coaching Certification Program Level 1. Mapping is another area of involvement for Forest and he has helped map three areas in Whitehorse, most recently working with a well known Swedish mapper, Toby Stenbeck, on an area for the 1992 Yukon Championships.

In winning the award, Forest beat out Cross Country Skier, Sean Sheardown and hockey player, Bobby House. Sean is a member of the Yukon Ski Team (and a past winner of the 'Male Athlete" award)

Forest's goals for 1992 include continuing to improve his physical fitness and orienteering techniques and to compete in the Junior World Championships in Finland. He will be moving to the 19-20 age category in 1992.

The winner of the 'Female Athlete of the Year' was Jane Vincent, a Cross Country Skier from Dawson City and a member of the National Cross Country Ski Team who hopes to represent Canada in the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France.

CONGRATULATIONS to Forest on this fine honour.

BALTIC NATIONS ACCEPTED AS NEW I.O.F. MEMBERS

Following their independence from the Soviet Union, the Baltic nations, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania formally requested that the International Orienteering Federation grant them separate nation member status. This would permit these nations to enter teams/athletes in World Championships and World Cup events rather than having to be part of the Soviet Union's team.

The three countries had previously requested separate country status but as they had not been granted indepen-dence from the Soviet Union, the 10F were unable to comply. This time there were no problems and they have now been approved official full member nation status.

The recent declaration of independence by the Ukraine will

very likely lead to a request for separate members status by the Ukrainian Orienteering Federation.

Most of the top Soviet orienteers have been from the Baltic nations, including Sixten Sild and Vladimer Alexeev 3rd and 4th in the 1991 W.O.C. and Danute Girinskaite 3rd place in the 1989 W.O.C. While competing as separate nations will dilute the strong Soviet team, each of the three countries are capable of fielding very strong teams that will challenge many of the countries in the top 5-10 positions.

The Canadian Orienteering Federation extends a warm welcome to these new member nations and hopes that some of their athletes will be able to compete in the 1992 Canadian World Cup event in October.

NOTE: The Squad names have been re-classified to better identify the skill/ability levels of the athletes. "Senior" is replaced by 'ELTTE" which better identifies the ability. The Elite Squad could also have junior age members so "Senior" is a misnomer. 'TALENT' identifies athletes (Senior and Junior age) who have demonstrated ability but who are below the 'Elite" criteria. 'DEVELOPMENT' identifies those athletes who have shown the potential to advance to the Talent and Elite Squad level.

The Squads were selected based upon the criteria published in the Spring 1991 issue of ORIENTEERING CANADA. An exception was that the results from the Quebec Cham-pionships were not considered as organizers of this event did not request the event to be sanctioned.

1993 SQUAD SELECTION UPDATE The events and criteria will be published in the spring issue of ORIENTEERING CANADA as meet schedule information - dates, location, requests for sanction etc. have not yet been finalized.

The VP National Teams, Winnie Stott, is currently revising 1991 statistics/results with a view of establishing specific Time Per Kilometre performance goals for selection to the various squads.

A condition for Squad Selection is the requirement for athletes to submit a certified 10K time twice yearly (Spring and Fall). Time standards for Male/Female for each squad will be established and published in the Spring issue of the magazine. The Spring 10K time must be forwarded to the National Office by June 15, 1992_

Athletes named to the various squads plus those with aspirations to make one of the squads should study the Spring schedule of 10K races in their area and make plans for the ones they will compete in.

JUNIOR PARTICIPATION PROGRAM The following Juniors are congratulated on reeeiving their partici-pation badges:

ANNUAL MEETING HIGHLIGHTS 1. Elections: Status Quo for Board o' nirectors. Association delegates voted the incumbent, Jack Forsyth (Manitoba) for another 2 year term as President of COP. Two other incumbent Directors, Winnie Stott (Ontario) and George Murphy (Alberta), were also returned for an additional 2 year term. Another Director, Julie DePass (Ontario) did not seek re-election and there were no nominations to fill the vacancy. The Constitution permits the Board of Directors to fill any vacancy; however, it was decided to leave the position vacant for the time being.

2. Reduction in Number of Classes Approved: A proposal "Whereas the large number of Classes at Canadian "A' Meets is not warranted by the number of competitors, and that this surplus of classes tends to reduce the com-petition and excitement, we move that the number of classes be reduced consistent with the state of participants." This motion was approved by the delegates and referred to the VP Standards and Technical Director for review, analysis and recommendation for new class structures.

3. Open Categories Approved for Most Courses: A motion "In order that competitors may always compete on a course which is at a suitable level for their abilities, we move that open classes be available at "A" meets for both Men and Women on all the standard courses except the longest ones."

4. Ontario to Organize the 1994 Canadian and North American Championships: The Ontario Association received approval to organize the 1994 COC and NAOC. 001 President, Jim Waddington, informed the delegates that the plan is to incorporate the two championships as part of a 6-Day competition with the view of attracting a large number of competitors.

5. Association Assessment Approved for 192: The com-bination of: reduction in the level of financial support provided by Fitness and Amateur Sport; current economic recession; inflationary costs of administrative services, supplies, rent, etc. made it necessary for an increase in level of revenue generated from membership fees.

Several options were suggested, however, it was decided to retain the membership fees at the same level as 1991 but to introduce an Association Assessment Fee. "The amount of the assessment will be based on the previous year's full membership times $4.00. The assessment is to be paid at a time determined by the Board of Directors".

Statistics presented by the VP Finance, Mr. Jim Lee, showed that for the 1991 membership year, COF received a total of $11,020.00 from which $10,530.00 was returned to the members in benefits - ORIENTEERING CANADA $5,852.00; Insurance Fees $2,561.00; 1.0.F. Affiliation Fees $2,111.00 = TOTAL $10,524.00, giving a net membership fee income of $490.00 (an average of 31e/member).

COF DROPS 1. VETERANS WORLD CUP - Australia: By the time you read this a small group of Canadian orienteers will already have competed in the Sun Coast 4-Days and Veteran World Cup in Tasmania. These two events have been held during the period January 5-11, 1992.

Canadian members competing in these events are: Julie and Neville De Pass (Hamilton), Irene Jensen (Ottawa), Jennifer Fenton and Mark McMillan (Vancouver). Jennifer and. Mark will also compete in the 1992 Asia Pacific Orienteering Championships in Japan in May.

2. LEVEL 3 NCCP COACHING COURSE HELD IN ALBERTA: COP Technical Director, Lyman Jones and his predecessor, Ted de St. Croix along with Rob MacKenzie (Alta), conducted a Level 3 Coaching Course in Edmonton on the weekend of Nov. 22-24, 1991. Eight coaches attended: Doug Dowell, Judy Cornish, Barbara Johnston, Mark Astridge, Mike Zukiwski, Marion Owen, of Alberta plus Ross Burnett (Yukon) and Sheldon Friesen (Man.)

3. SPORT CANADA CHIEF RE-ASSIGNED: Longtime Direc-tor General of Sport Canada, Miss Abby Hoffman, was laterally moved to a similar position in the Dept. of Health and Welfare. THE OTTAWA CITIZEN of Oct. 18, 1991

reported, "The most powerful woman in Canadian Amateur Sport has been forced out of her job after a five-year power struggle with the assistant deputy minister for fitness and amateur sport." Miss Hoffman had held the post of Director General for 10 years.

The Director General's position will not be filled until a task force on federal sport policy has been completed. This may take up to one year. Mr. Greg Rokosh, senior official with Sport Canada will be Acting Director General in the interim period.

Abby Hoffman was one of the top 800 metre runners in the world during a lengthy competitive career, representing Canada in numerous major events including Olympic, Pan American and Commonwealth Games.

4. ORIENTEERING FEATURED IN CANADIAN GEOGRAPHIC: The December issue of CANADIAN GEO-GRAPHIC contains an 8 page article on "0". The writer, Chris Flanagan, competed in a few local Ottawa area meets as part of his research for the article. He also competed in Day 2 of the 1991 COC. The CANADIAN GEOGRAPHIC is a high quality magazine with a wide distribution. The article will give good promotional exposure to Orienteering.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN The TECHNICAL BULLETIN was first issued in 1987 as a means of improving communication between COF and officials, mappers, coaches and instructors. Two issues per year were forwarded until 1991. Last year's production was curtailed because there was a lack of funds to print and mail, and the mailing list had grown.

In the absence of the TECHNICAL BULLETIN, infor-mation as required was forwarded to individuals or associa-tions.

Most delegates at the COF Annual General Meeting felt that it should be continued. Because it must be on a user pay basis, interested clubs or individuals are encouraged to forward the following form along with $5.00 to the COF.

This will cover the Spring and Fall issues for 1992. Some clubs are planning to provide this to their volunteers or at least have a dub copy available. They view it as a way of assisting those members who are putting in a lot of time and effort on their behalf.

I wish to receive the TECHNICAL BULLETIN in 1992 Enclosed is $5.00 to cover 2 issues (Spring and Fall).
