A two stage multi-cache that will take you on an educational tour of Canada's final court of appeal, the Supreme Court of Canada.
Standing at the apex of the Canadian judicial system, the Supreme Court of Canada serves Canadians by leading the development of common and civil law through its decisions on questions of public importance.
The posted coordinates are for an informational plaque that will provide some necessary information on the location of Waypoint Two:
- Take the year the Supreme Court of Canada was created and subtract 1540 to find the bearing true north of Waypoint Two
- Take the year the person was appointed as Chief Justice of Canada and subtract 1887 to find the distance of Waypoint Two
As you head off for Waypoint Two, check the two flagstaffs at the front of the building. The one to the west is hoisted daily, while the other only flies when the Court is sitting. Outside the entrance to the building, two tall statues have been erected on the steps of the building: Truth, on the west, and Justice, to the east.
Upon arriving at Waypoint Two, you will need to gather some information necessary for finding the final hiding location:
- Take the day listed, multiply it by 10, and subtract the total from 550 to derive the North minutes of the final cache location
- Take the month listed, multiply it by 5, and add the total to 351 to derive the West minutes of the final cache location
For those interested, from early May to the end of August, the building is open to the public from 0900 to 1700 daily, including weekends and holidays, and guided tours are conducted on a continuing basis. From September to April, the building is open to the public Monday to Friday from 0900 to 1700 and guided tours are available by pre-arrangement.
Please note that no climbing is required to reach the final cache location and there is no need for any drastic elevation change!
Also, due to the possibility of muggles, please be discreet when retrieving the cache and make sure that the cache is returned to the same, secure spot. And don't forget to bring your own writing utensil!
