If you are around in the second half of July, you might want to join one of the events of the COC 2019 Week , which will take place from July 20-28. It starts with the Ottawa O-Fest on the weekend of July 20/21, and will end with the Canadian Orienteering Championship 2019 in Rawdon on July 27/28, with some races in Morin Heights and Laval in between. All the events have courses for Novice runners as well (so called Open categories). And it is at the same time a chance to run with the best runners from the country, so there will be something for everyone!
For some events pre-registration is required. See the event page for the COC 2019 Week for full schedule and details.
+ Volunteers:
It is the first time that the Rambler are organizing the Canadian Orienteering Championship, and we will need many volunteers on the weekend from July 26 to 28. Even when volunteering you can still participate in the event. Interested? You can sign up here or contact our volunteer coordinator at volunteers@ramblersoc.ca

Is it possible to participate from Türkiye with two runners (2003 and 2006 Bornova)?
They were born in Canada but raised in Türkiye.

Everyone can participate, from any country, and regardless if you are born in Canada are not. But to be eligible for a medal, you will need to be either a Canadian Citizen, or be part of of a Club in Canada.
