IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THE EVENT DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY PRIOR TO REGISTERING. SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY. ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST PUT THEIR NAME ON THE WAIT LIST. We are very pleased to inform you that the Calgary Outdoor Club (COC) will subsidize 50% of the Map and Compass Course. The U of C has kindly offered to customize this course for COC only-not offered to the general public. The total cost per person is $ 35.00 + GST. COC will subsidize $35.00 + GST and each selected participant will be asked to pay in advance the remaining $ 35.00 + GST. This course includes instruction and materials. The morning session will take place at U of C(indoors/classroom) and in the afternoon you will carpool to a park to practise. In this era of GPS assisted navigation, hikers may be
tempted to forego carrying a map and compass. But it's
important to understand that a GPS receiver does not replace
these tools, which do not rely on batteries or satellite signals to
function. A detailed topo map and a compass should still be
the
primary tools for navigation in the wilderness.
- The Course will be provided by The University of Calgary
PLEASE NOTE: Since this course is subsidized(paid
ahead
of time)If you need to cancel 72 hours prior to the
event=you will get an automatic no show. In addition if you
have
a history of "no shows" or of cancelling events at the last
minute,
please DO NOT sign up. We need participants who are fully
committed. | |||||
