The actual cache is now a black 1kg peanut butter jar, containing a log book, pencil and the Canada swag.
This Canada Day, we want to remember our soldiers who fought over the years to keep this country, and other countries free.
The coordinates for this cache do not actually take you to the cache. That's a good thing because there is already a cache nearby. Instead, the coordinates take you to the downtown war memorial. The actual cache is 2-3 kilometers away.
To find the actual coordinates and claim your cache, you must find the answers to the questions below by going to the monument and using your observation skills. This is a good opportunity to learn a little about our fallen comrades. The questions are lettered according to the coordinates format below. Every answer is a number.
