Geocache Description:

Many travelers arrive in Regina and stay for the night in one of the downtown hotels. Some of them are avid cachers and would like the challenge to find a cache or two while in the city. This cache has been placed in the downtown area just for them. Bewarned that the high buildings "will play havoc" with your GPS signal thus affecting your degree of accuracy.


During the late 1890’s, Regina was capital of the Canada’s Northwest Territories, but it was little more than a collection of frame buildings and tents. Even so, in 1891 some of the settlers lobbied the Town Council to appoint an individual to maintain sanitation laws and help keep livestock from roaming the streets. By 1892, Mayor Richard H. Williams was concerned about the increase of petty crime in the town; a concern that turned to annoyance because the North-West Mounted Police refused to enforce town bylaws. On July 19, 1892 Town Council approved the appointment and swearing in, four days later, of James Williams, as Regina’s first Town Constable. He worked out of the first City Hall on 11th Avenue and Scarth Street. Williams received a monthly salary of $50 and a free uniform to wear while on duty. He supplied his own gun. Williams duties included impounding stray animals, preventing street obstructions, keeping the town “toughs” under control, ringing the town bell at appointed hours, waiting on Council, enforcing sanitation laws, controlling roaming livestock, licensing transient traders, billiard rooms and refreshment houses and issuing dog tags.

Since its formation only two members have given up their lives in the performance of their duty to their fellow citizens.



There is no need to crawl around and destroy the vegetation to retrieve this cache. All you need to do is sit on the wall and reach for it. You will be looking for a medium size camoed lok-box.

All good cachers will always carry a writing implement and also replace the cache "exactly" where they found it!
