Itinerary:

Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) is hosting an info session on "Backcountry 101 - Introduction to Map and Compass Navigation" - basic level map reading, and use; compass feature explanation.

------
To find me (Sandie), I will be waiting inside MEC's training room in their store - in the corner by the women's clothing.

To find me, I'll have a multi- coloured bag, wearing a pink EOC top, and wearing my yellow EOC baseball cap (when the talk starts, the cap will be attached to my bag on the back of my chair).

**The talk starts at 7:00PM but I would like us to meet up at 6:45PM so I can register all of you and try to get seats altogether.** If you’re late, I’ll put some EOC business cards on some seats up front to the left to reserve them for you.

If you sit elsewhere, please make sure you find me at the end of the presentation so I know you were in attendance, otherwise you will receive an automatic “No Show” – see our Cancellation Policy for further info.

Also please note that I have registered 7 of us for this event already via their event posting so no need for further registration after you sign up for this EOC event.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Your MEC membership or $5.00 to buy one
Money for any in-store purchases
