beautiful British Columbia and Vancouver as participants in the World
Police and Fire Games 2009 Orienteering Event.
The event will be held 12 km south of Whistler, in Brandywine Falls

in Canada. So, be ready to enjoy orienteering at its best and have a
memorable experience!
All of us at WPFG 2009 and Ultimate Outdoor Adventures Ltd. (the

outstanding experience to you - participants, volunteers and public on

Terrain Description |
|
UPDATE - Due to the extreme
hot weather many of the ponds and lakes are now dry or
smaller than they appear on the map. |
The terrain is predominantly forested and partially rocky with small
openings and steep cliffs in some areas. It is rich on small and middle
sized landforms, very detailed with lots of small lakes, ponds, marshes and
rocks. The fallen trees in the forest might affect the runability.
Click here to see some pictures of the area
Notes:
- The competition will take place late morning (from 9:30). Competitors are
therefore
advised to take extra care to avoid dehydration. We will have two
water stations on the course.
- Due to the many water features it is advisable to protect
yourself from mosquitoes.
- Black bears can be found in the area. Make your presence known.
Some people prefer to wear bells.
- Long pants and protective gaiters are suggested.

Embargoed Areas |
With reference to the The Competition Rules for IOF Foot
Orienteering Events (article 26.6) the listed areas are out of

team leaders, coaches, doctors, escort, etc.) and other persons
who, through their knowledge of the terrain or the events, may
influence the result of the competitions being held during WPFG
2009. In more detail, this means: no organized orienteering
activities may take place in these areas, no training sessions,
i.e. running/races, testing routes may take place in these
areas and no one with potential connection to a team (athletes or
others) may visit the embargoed areas.
