| boyle: | On-line registration is now open for the O-fest. There are only 7 days left before the Early Bird deadline of April 18th. The National Capital O-fest will be hilly and challenging at both Sedbergh School near Montebello (a new map) and in the NE corner of Gatineau Park near Wakefield. All the National Team contenders will be there - the best orienteers in Canada.
There are courses for all ages and abilities. With our late spring and early long weekend, this may be the best opportunity for leafless orienteering for this annual meet. Don't miss out. Bill Anderson, meet director Lorna Guttormson, registrar |

| fossil: | I hear the skiing is still pretty good in Gatineau Park. Will the snow be gone by mid-May? |

| gordhun: | Next week they are going to open the windows in Ottawa's Parliament Buildings as they do every year at this time.
The hot air from the political debate will melt all the snow for miles around as it does every year at this time. The Gatineau Park will be snow free by the last week of April. |

| fossil: | A-ha. Now we know the true cause of global warming. I don't recall your mentioning this in the earth hour thread, Gord! |

| boyle: | I was up near Wakefield this morning. The nordic trails are fine for snowshoeing but I expect them to be soon abandoned by skiers. As of this afternoon, the NCC continues to recommend 54% of the Gatineau trail system for skiers. |

| gordhun: | Fossil,
I sort of made reference to other dinosaurs, didn't I? |
