Map: Royal Roads University Campus
Later than hoped, forest Orienteering finally returns for 2022! We did have two events planned for this April/May at Thetis Lake and Beaver Lake, but unfortunately the CRD declined our permits on the grounds we were asking to go off trail. This is obviously a significant challenge as all our best maps are CRD parks.
