Meet Directors/Controllers: Alexander Bergstrom and Stefan Bergstrom
Meet Director's notes, May 10th, 2015: Come and orienteer in the old growth forest Gilles Grove with towering White Pines, Maples, and Hemlocks. The map is the same used for last fall’s NAOC 2015 Relay. The area has fast running in mostly open forest and some park land. This is a must see area with tree sizes we don’t have anywhere else in the Ottawa area.
Location: Robert Simpson Park, Arnprior, at north end of John Street North.
