The cache is located near the Mount Royal Station.

For Calgarians, the name, Mount Royal, conjures up images of curving tree lined streets and stately old homes, of manicured lawns and gardens, of old money and gracious living. And for many decades, Mount Royal was indeed the elite neighbourhood of the city. Many of Calgary’s wealthiest and most prominent citizens made their homes there. Many still do. Mount Royal was born at the end of the first decade of the twentieth century. The towns of the Canadian prairies were in the midst of a fabulous boom, transformed from dusty villages where livestock still roamed dirt streets to little metropolises with streetcars, theatres and bustling commercial districts. The Canadian Pacific Railway, so much a part of opening the west, started developing the large chunks of land it owned in many of these cities. The bare hillside rising out of the river valley, with its shallow gullies and coulees, may not have looked like a promising location for a luxury suburb, but in the eyes of the CPR’s planners of the CPR. The company laid out a community especially for the well to do, giving them a refuge on the edge of the city, an elegant oasis created out of empty prairie.

Although the area's formative ties to the CPR are sometimes forgotten the community hall is a tangible reminder of this history. Designed in the style of a traditional railway station it is fondly called Mount Royal Station.
