SPORT CANADA ROUTE CHOICE = ORIENTEERING DSQ
The Winter 1995 issue of Orienteering Canada (Vol. 22 No. 4) contained an article 'Core Sport + SRS = SFAF (Sport Funding and Accountability Framework)'. The article outlined government plans for support to National Sport Organizations (NSO's) and process used to determine which will receive funding.
At a meeting in the Canadian Sport and Fitness Adminis-tration Centre (CSFAC) on March 31, Sport Canada Director General, Adam Ostry, advised of decisions made regarding future funding to NSO's.
Sixty live NSO's were considered and thirty six approved for continued support. Twenty nine others, including orienteering, did not meet the 'Funding Threshold' and will see their Sport Canada funding reduced by 60% in 1995 and eliminated in 1996.
FEDERAL BUDGET IMPACT ON SPORT
The February 28, 1995 federal budget cut funding to amateur sport by 25% in 1995-96 with additional 12% cuts planned for 1996-97 and 1997-98. ie. 50% funding reduc-tion over the next three years.
The cuts are actually 12% each year. An additional 13% ($5,000,000) was added for 1995 to cover the costs of Hosting Bids by Quebec City (2002 Winter Olympics), and Winnipeg (1999 Pan-Am Games).
Sport Canada have received budget cuts each of the last eight years. This has meant reductions in funds available to NSO's. For the 1995-96 fiscal year the Sport Canada support to NSO's has been reduced by $11,700.00. Rather than spreading diminishing funds thinner every year it was decided better to support fewer sports.
A Three Step process was used to determine the NSO's that will continue to be funded.
STEP 1 - GENERAL ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Conditions necessary to receive consideration. eg . Minimum of 3000 members; Active in at least 8 provinces/territories; Incorporated under the Canada Corporations Act; Have a Constitution; Audited Annual Financial Statements; National Championships with athletes from at least 6 prov-inces/territories; The single national governing body of the sport in Canada.
Sixty five NSO's submitted applications and fifty four met the General Eligibility Criteria. The unsuccessful included:
Lacrosse, Modern Pentathlon, Nordic Combined and Triathlon. The biggest surprise was the failure of Lacrosse as last year they were named one of Canada's two 'official' sports. (Ice Hockey is the other).
Orienteering is one of fifty four sports who met the STEP 1 Criteria and underwent a detailed General Assessment review.
STEP 2 - GENERAL ASSESSMENT
This consisted of three components. 1. High Performance (60%), 2. Sport Development (29%), 3. Management and Financial (11%). High Performance was the key compo-nent with Top 16 placing in Olympic, World Cup or World Championships necessary to receive any points.
Points from the three components were totalled and the fifty four NSO's 'Ranked' by total points scored. (1 through 54)
STEP 3 - FUNDING THRESHOLD
The 'cut-off on the Ranking List was 50 points. Thirty six sports exceeded 50 while eighteen, including Orienteering, scored less than 50. Several Olympic sports; Luge, Archery, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Team Handball, Weightlifting, Ski Jumping, missed the 'cut-off', as did Squash, Racquetball, Karate and Football.
The number of funded sports will be further reduced in 1996 and 1997 with an anticipated maximum of thirty NSO's remaining funded after 1997. It will likely be necessary to attain 60 points for future funding support.
There will be a scramble for next year among the twelve lowest ranked of the thirty six 'successful' to improve/retain their position. Success or failure may depend upon one athlete eg. Biathlon - Miriam Bedard.
The lowest twelve are: Shooting, Baseball, Rugby, X-C Ski, Biathlon, Equestrian, Table Tennis, Water Ski, Curling, Water Polo, Bobsleigh, They scored between 50-60 points on the Ranking List.
FUNDING IMPACT ON ORGANIZATIONS EXCLUDED
There will be a 'Phase Out' period in 1995. The eighteen 'excluded' NSO's plus four who did not meet the Step 1 General Eligibility Criteria, (Lacrosse, Modern Pentathlon, Nordic Combined, Golf), will receive 40% of the amount they received in 1994 and no Sport Canada funding in 1996.
2
A similar process will be made each year and 'excluded NSO's' can reapply. Future cuts in available funds and further reduction in the number of sports receiving funds will make it more difficult to meet the required point total.
FUNDING OF THE THIRTY SIX SPORTS EXCEEDING THE FUNDING THRESHOLD
Nine NSO's received increases and twenty five decreases, some as much as 30%. The average decrease to sports "who made the list" was 21%, with further cuts next year.
In addition, a maximum level of $800,000 of financial support per year has been introduced and will be phased in over the next two years. For some large NSO's this may be a 60% reduction. The Swimming, Track and Field., Ice Hockey associations received approximately $2,000,000 per year. They will receive cuts of about $600,000 in each of the next two years, resulting in reduction of junior pro-grammes, training camps, participation in International competitions, coaches and administration support staff.
There are many losers and no winners.
APPEAL PROCESS
Appeals will only be considered for: Incomplete informa-tion at time of Ranking Evaluation cg. The 1995 Pan-Am Games took place in March, 1995, after the Ranking was made. Gold medal performances may affect the Ranking of some sports. (Archery and Squash)
IMPACT ON THE COF AND NATIONAL OFFICE
The likelihood of orienteering being excluded from funding has been known since Heritage Minister, Michel Dupuy, announced the Sport and Fitness Accountability Frame-work would be implemented on April 1, 1995.
The 60% reduction of Sport Canada funds will mean major changes in the operation of our National Office. In 1994 we received $90,000 for Salaries, Travel, Office Rent and Administration. This year we will receive about $36,000.
We also received secretarial salary from the CSFAC for 3 12 days per week. Unfortunately they received a cut of 31% ($1,700,000) that will be passed on to the NSO's through increases in rent, printing and photocopying and reduction/elimination of the secretarial grant.
The CSFAC are currently reviewing options on how they will 'pass on' their cuts to the NSO's. This will mean some hard decisions for the COF Board in an April meeting.
Cutbacks in the National Office staff and services will be necessary. Revised operating budgets for 1995 and 1996 have been prepared and will be finalized in the near future.
SUMMARY
The decision of the government to reduce funding support to amateur sport is regrettable and will affect the develop-ment of sport in Canada. The NSO's supports government efforts to reduce the federal deficit and accepts that sport suffer the same budget cuts as other government agencies.
However, the sport community disagrees with the emphasis on 'High Performance' rather than 'grass root development' ie. Medal mentality. Without investment in grass root programmes the potential for medals and Top Finish placings is significantly reduced.
Fortunately, sport is about much more than winning medals and government funding. Orienteering and the COF will continue to be an active viable sport in Canada. The method of operations may be different and we may have to revert back to a 'kitchen table' approach, but the belief in orienteering remain as strong as ever.
LYMAN JONES TAKES NEW CAREER 'ROUTE CHOICE'
Technical Director, Lyman Jones, will be leaving the COF in May after six years. Lyman, in anticipation of the eventuality of orienteering being eliminated from Sport Canada funding, had enrolled at Algonquin College on a part-time basis and taking courses in GIS (Geographic Information System). Starting in September he will be enrolled as a full-time student and complete his GIS course in Spring 1996.
After leaving COF, Lyman will be employed by the CIOR (Canadian Officer Reserves) as an orienteering coach from May until the end of July. He has performed contract coaching assignments with CIOR in each of the past three years.
I take this opportunity to thank Lyman for his dedication and contribution to the development of orienteering in Canada during his six years as Technical Director. Lyman has done much in the areas of Coaching Development and organization of the National 'Sass Peepre' Junior Training Camp.
On a personal note he contributed a great deal to my knowledge of Canada. Prior to Lyman being employed by the COF I had mistakenly thought Fredericton the capital of New Brunswick, probably because that is where the New Brunswick parliament sits. Lyman made me aware that all important New Brunswick and, perhaps, Canadian deci-sions, are made in Burst's Corner, either in the local barber shop or the eight stool restaurant.
Best wishes and lots of SUCCASS to Lyman and Louise, (the main good thing Ottawa had that Burst's Corner had not).

NATIONAL TEAM NEWS The following is a summary of some key elements of the National Squad program for 1995. A new organization and operation manual is being developed and will be available in the near future.
1995 NATIONAL SQUAD PROGRAM Mission: To create a positive atmosphere to improve the quality and quantity of Canadian orienteering athletes to compete at the world level.
NATIONAL SQUAD STRUCTURE The National Squad program has been re-structured from Elite, Talent, Development, to Senior and Junior.
1995 SQUADS Based upon criteria announced last Spring for 1995 Squad Selection the following athletes have been named.
Senior Squad Mark Adams Martin Pardoe Mike Waddington Chris Seligy Francis Falardeau Wil Smith Brian Graham Eric Cyr Peter MacKenzie Pam James Brian Mahoney Sonya Skinner Dave Mahoney Heidi Pearson Eugene Milynczk Marketa Graham Brian May Catherine Hagen
Junior Squad Dave Donaldson Neil Evans Nevin French Doug Mahoney Michael Smith Amanda Edmunds Cherie Mahoney
1996 SQUAD SELECTION Selection criteria will be based on a ranking system for all sanctioned 'A' meets in Canada and possibly the U.S. The specific system to be used and the parameters of the team will be outlined in the National Squad manual.
COACHING Ross Burnett will continue as National Team Coach and Ted de St. Croix has been named Assistant Coach. Both have a wealth of international experience which will be invaluable to the program.
The National Team Coach and Assistant Coach, will offer their experience and assistance to squad athletes. The intention is not for Ross and Ted to take the place of the local coach, geography and finances make that impos-sible, but rather to provide support of a technical nature that may not be available locally. Ross is responsible for Western Canada and Ted for Eastern Canada, however, athletes can communicate with either should they have a preference.
SPRING TRAINING CAMP A spring training camp is planned for the week of May 8 - 12, 1995 in Ganaraska region of Ontario which is very relevant terrain for the WOC selection races and the WOC.

RETURN OF THE SILENT AUCTION The 1995 edition of the Silent Auction, the third such venture organized as a COF Fundraiser, will be held in conjunction with the Canada '95 closing banquet, July 23, Bragg Creek, Alberta.
The two previous auctions have shown this a successful and fun method of fund-raising. The 1993 and 1994 auctions raised $2762 and $1734 respectively with 50% ($2248) allocated to the National Team. This will be of great assistance to the National Team program.
Success of the auction depends on participation of associ-ations, clubs and members. We are requesting your assist-ance in making the 1995 auction the 'Best Ever', by soliciting and donating auction items. From past experi-ence we know COC participants will purchase items. The more auction items the more they will purchase.
Best sellers at previous auctions have been items of orienteering equipment eg. 0 suits, gaiters, shoes, running
tights. A review of a club equipment may unearth an unsold 0-suit buried under a pile of old maps.
The imagination and talents of members have been amply demonstrated in previous auctions. Handmade lap quilts (Winnie Stott), Hooked Wall Hangings (Sue Waddington), Pottery (Gene/Marg Brenda), delicious jams and jellies (Anne Mahoney, Mary Lou Hogg, Shirley Pommier, Linda Sidney), a unique leaded glass wall hanging of the GLOF logo by Michael Muttes, (top auction money raiser to date).
These few items illustrate the range of products and ingenuity of members. The Auctions provide opportunities to exhibit 'hidden talent' in a friendly atmosphere and supportive forum of colleagues.
COF Director, Nancy Craig, the Foothills Wanderer's, and the COF office, are co-organizing the auction. Please advise any of the above, of items you would like to donate for this years auction.

SAGE STOMP 3-DAY JULY 8-11, 1995 The tenth annual Sage Stomp will be held at Logan Lake, high in the hills 40 minutes out of Kamloops. New maps are being made, and will offer excellent orienteering in pine forests on the hillsides and glacial moraine in the val-ley bottoms. The first two days of this 3-day total time event will also serve as the Western Canadian Championships for qualified residents.
Event Centre Logan Lake, British Columbia

CANADA '95 INTERNATIONAL 5-DAY JULY 15 -23,1995 DAYS 1 AND 2 Following the event near Kamloops you may enjoy a visit to Jasper National Park en route to Edmonton. And, if you didn't spend too much time hiking in the mountains, perhaps you will have energy left for an afternoon's hiking at West Edmonton Mall on your way to Smoky Lake.
Smoky Lake, a rural farming community 1 1/2 hours drive northeast of Edmonton, is coming alive to welcome orienteers from
around the world. In the pine forests, recre-ational orienteers will enjoy pleasant walks on the many paths and deer trails while others will appreciate the excellent footing and fast running on sandhill glacial moraine.
Event Centre Smoky Lake Complex, Smoky Lake opens 13 July 1995 1800h closes 17 July 1995 1800h
DAY 3 From Smoky Lake the venue moves south through rural farmland into Central Alberta and the Red Deer River Valley.
This picturesque area features highly detailed erosion and "badlands" terrain and will provide a challenge to the most skilled orienteer, while trails, open areas and large features with the river bordering the map will ensure confidence and an enjoyable time for the less experienced orienteer. Perhaps you will even discover dinosaur bones along the way.
Event Centre Mackenzie Crossing (to km west of Big Valley at the junction of the Red Deer River and Highway 590)
opens 18 July 1995 1200h closes 20 July 1995 1000h
DAYS 4 AND 5 Following day 3, visit the dinosaurs at the world-renowned Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology in Drumheller as you move into the foothills southwest of Calgary. Here also is a chance to visit Canada Olympic park in Calgary, the Canmore Nordic Centre, or just soak in the hot springs at Banff.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS 1. TEAM SILVA INTERNATIONAL
Silva Sweden announced the formation of Team SILVA International with seven athletes named to the team: Anna Bogren, Marlena Jansson, Jorgen Martensson (Sweden), Jana Cieslarova (Czech Republic), Steve Hale (Britain), Petter Thoresen (Norway) and Janni Salmi (Finland).
The increase in number of Elite international compe-titions provide more opportunities for manufacturers to promote products. Team Silva will assist in the devel-opment, testing and promotion of Silva products. Associating world class athletes with their products make this a good move for Silva and the athletes.
2 ELECTRONIC EVENT CALENDAR The IOF High Tech Group have released the first edition of the Electronic Event Calendar. The program was developed by Hans Steinegger, of OCAD fame.
Federations submit details of major meets to the IOF office. eg. Date, location, entry closing date, contact name/address/telephone number. As a general rule, only events planned at least six months in advance and national or regional status should be included.
Data is consolidated and the International Event Calendar produced. The Calendar will be released twice each year, (January 1st and June 1st). Each federation will receive a diskette containing calendar information.
The Calendar comes as an easy to use Windows pro-gram and displays a list of all events submitted. Select a country, click, and a list of events for the country is shown. Double click on an event and the details are shown.
The COF received a copy of the first release and copies can be obtained from the COF office at a cost of $5.00 (diskette and mailing costs).
Information and submission dates for inclusion in the 1996 Electronic Event Calendar will be forwarded from the IOF in September. Associations will be contacted for details of events they wish included.
3. ELECTRONIC PUNCHING SYSTEM TO BE USED IN 1995 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS The electronic punching system developed by the Norwegian company, Regnly, will be used in the 1995 World Championships. Each runner will carry a small device, not unlike a bottle cap opener, which is fitted into a similar device at each control. The 'control' device transmits information from the runners device both to the timekeeper and officials eg. name, number,
arrival time at the control.
The system eliminates poor punching, difficult to read control cards, taking controls out of sequence, broken punches etc. It also provides instant times of every runner from every control. This allows media: reporters and officials be aware of the progress of the race as it unfolds.

5. COACHES COMMENTS 011i-Pekka Karkkainen (Finland), current head coach of the Danish 'Dream Team', " Remember that 'results' and 'success' come before 'work' only in a dictionary. And you should not believe in dictionaries. In sports training it is better that you believe in yourself'. (Orienteering World 1995 No.1 - January).
Renowned British coach, Peter Palmer, commenting after the final 1994 World Cup races in Germany and the Czech Republic.; " Orienteering at the highest levels now is more about strength, speed and super fitness rather than technique - technical skills are taken for granted. The British runners made few mistakes but
12
once Thoresen (Norway - 1989 and 1993 World Cham-pion and 1994 World Cup winner) and company pressed down on the accelerator, their speed and athleticism meant that seconds of running advantage on each leg gradually built up into minutes". (Compas-sport Vol. 15 No. 6 Dec.'94/Jan.'95)
6. DANISH STAR SETS NEW TPK STANDARD Denmark's rising young star, Carsten Jorgensen, has been attributed with the unofficial time per kilometre record. He ran a 5.4 km course in 23.09, a TPK of 4.17.
Jorgensen, 4th in the 1994 World Cup Final Ranking, finished 15th in the 1994 European Cross Country Running Championships and has run under 29.00 for the 10,000. This is the type of speed required to do well in modern day international orienteering races. He will be among the favourites in the 1995 WOC.

8. MOUNTAIN BIKE ORIENTEERING The first International Mountain Bike Orienteering event was held in France in November, 1994 with teams from nine nations competing.
The question of Mountain Bike Orienteering being 'recognised' as a distinct discipline in the same way as Ski-Orienteering has been discussed by the I.O.F. The Council has argued that "mountain bike orienteering" (MBO) stresses the MB and not the 0 and wants the O to come first. That argument doesn't address the problem that you have something of a mouthful whichever way you say it. One could say just 'bike-orienteering', like 'ski-orienteering', but that lacks glamour. Any suggestions?
It would be ironic if Mountain Bike or Ski Orienteering were accepted to the Olympic Games program before 'Foot Orienteering'.
It may well be that the matter is out of the hands of the 10F. As Mountain Biking is already on the Olym-pic program they may add MBO as an event without the 10F having much say in the matter.
9. > » PRESS RELEASE « < INTERNATIONAL ORIENTEERING FEDERATION IN TALKS WITH THE IOC Recently members of the International Olympic Com-mittee, Gunnar Ericsson (SWE) and Fetter Tallberg (FIN) were in Finland with Gilbert Feill, the IOC's Sports Director, to meet the 1OF and see Ski-Orienteering at first hand. As guests of the Finnish Orienteering Federation and the Finnish Olympic Committee, the IOC members saw a presentation of ski-orienteering, and then visited the long distance event of the final of the 1995 Ski-0 World Cup.
The 'OF was represented by President Sue Harvey, Council member Einar Undstad (NOR), Ski-0 Steering Group Chairman Veli-Markku Korteniemi (FIN), and Lennart Levin, Secretary General.
After cheering Arja Nuolioja and Raino Pesu to victory, Gilbert Feill tried a bit of orienteering for himself. He was noticeably taken with the challenge of map reading on the move - albeit on a snow scooter. Like all orienteers, he felt he could have navigated better than the driver. A press conference followed the event.
This meeting was part of the Council's work in support of the inclusion of Ski Orienteering in the programme of the Winter Olympics. While it is hard to see foot orienteering having much chance of getting into the already overfull Summer programme - unless or until the Summer Games are re-organized - the situation is rather different for the Winter Games, where the number of sports is much smaller and competitor numbers more manageable.

NO NATIONAL JUNIOR TRAINING CAMP IN 1995
For a variety of reasons it has been decided to cancel the 'Sass Peepre' National Junior Training Camp for this year. Lyman Jones, has served as Camp Director/Organizer for the last few years, arranging for coaches, support staff (cooks) trans-portation and other logistics. His departure from the position of COF Technical Director greatly impacted organization of this years camp.
Difficulty in locating a volunteer Camp Director and obtaining commitments from coaches and support staff, resulted in the decision to cancel the camp. Hopefully, this popular junior camp can be offered again in 1996.

REVISED EDITION OF COF COMPETITION RULES AVAILABLE
Over the years there have been many changes made in the manner orienteering competitions are organized. The influx of computerized methodology has affected every level of meet organization and mapping making it necessary to update Competition Rules and Meet Organization standards.
Changing technology also means changes in the production methods and the revised Competition Rules reflect this. The new edition has been prepared in a three hole punched loose page format rather than a stapled and bound booklet. This format allows for easier updating with annual 'replacement pages' issued to reflect changes.
Copies of the 1995 Competition Rules will be supplied to Provincialfferritorial associations. The new format allows for easy photocopying/quick copy duplication.
The 1995 Competition Rules incorporate changes made by the International Orienteering Federation and pertinent to Canadian competitions. These rules are effective immediately.
*** PROMOTION IDEA *** In the spring Orienteering New Brunswick sends two copies of its meet schedule/membership form to each member -- one for the member family and another to give to a friend, workmate or relative. What an easy and efficient way to encourage the "Bring a Friend" theme.
GRANTS FOR PERMANENT ORIENTEERING MAPS
AND COURSES Submitted by Nancy Craig
Alberta Orienteering Association received a "Go For Green" grant of $3,000 this winter to be used for the establishment of more Permanent 0 Courses in Alberta.
The Alberta grant will be shared between two Alberta 0 clubs who will use the money to produce maps, design permanent orienteering courses, and generally make the 0 packages more accessible to the public.
The grant is from the Fitness Secretariat, Health Canada which makes project funds available through the Active Living and Environment Program. The program's catchy name is "Active Living -- Go for Green". It "supports and encourages Canadians to engage in responsible, healthy and active outdoor physical activities that are environmentally friendly, and to enhance their collective capacity to preserve or create quality environments for active living".
The Active Living -- Go for Green federal grants are distributed by each province. Check out the possibilities of funding one of the orienteering projects in your province or territory. Contact the COF office for names and addresses of provincial/territorial contacts.
