Nova Scotians at the 1978 Canadian championships in Halton Falls ON

Here is a story from the 1978 Canadian championships in Halton Falls, Ont:

After successfully hosting the 1977 COC’s, the Orienteering Association of Nova Scotia sent a large group of 47 competitors to the 1978 COC’s in Halton Falls, Ontario.  The team booked a full VIA train cart and travelled together up and back from the event.  Although a long trip  to take on the train (about 24 hours) everyone had a ton of fun with lots of card games a laughter to pass the time.

Peter Jennegren, Oivind Naess and Anne Katherine Naess.

Peter Jennegren, Oivind Naess and Anne Katherine Naess were the Nova Scotians who won medals at the event with the train in the background.
