12 ADDITIONNAL INFORMATION from Officials Committee The online Entry level slide set has been edited for inclusion of the latest IBU rule changes. Remaining to be done on this is to check the online examinations to change any questions that may have come from the old rules, to reflect the current rule status. Translation to French will be required. I think we have all agreed the next levels of Officials training is not suitable for online training, and that classroom seminars will be the delivery system for those. Classroom Entry seminar needs to be cleaned up and reflect the new slide set Graham edited. All Instructors will need an updated slide set for all levels, reflecting the current IBU rules, this will require editing, and translation to French The committee must go forward with Advance, Chief and TD course updates

The purpose was to allow those who have an interest in the sport to give it a try before the end of the season. Biathlon Canada hopes that those who have watched biathlon at the Olympic Games and seen how exciting this sport can be, will have the chance to try it out firsthand and subsequently get involved in their local club program.
