Corktown is the neighbourhood in downtown Toronto bordered by
Berkeley and Shuter streets to the west and north and by the the
Don River and Lake Ontario to the east and south. It was originally
settled in the early 1800s by Irish immigrant labourers who worked
in the many breweries and distilleries in the area. These settlers
were largely from County Cork, and it was this connection that gave
Corktown its evocative name.
The cache consists of six stages. The first five stages are
plaques or monuments that contain information that you will require
to find the subsequent stage. The final stage is a 3-inch canister
hidden in a tree. Please be respectful of the landscaping at the
final location. You will not have to leave the grassy area to
retrieve the cache.
The entire trip is just over 1km and should take about an hour
to complete by foot. Please avoid the urge to jaywalk. Some of the
streets in the neighbourhood are offramps from the DVP and drivers
tend to go too fast. There are pedestrian crosswalks nearby.
Parking is available right next to stage 1.
For all stages, assume N43°39, W79°21. For months and
days, always use two digits (Jan=01, etc).
