Micro Manage This! - C.J.'s Park
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This is the seventh in a series of micro's hidden in Brantford parks. All of them are stand-alone caches, and are not tied into a final stage. The reasons for placing these caches are to increase the number of caches hidden in the Brantford area, to provide cachers with a brief history of the parks they will be visiting, and to give cachers the opportunity to enjoy some of the beautiful surroundings in "The Best Blooming City" in Ontario! Please take a pen or pencil with you.
This little park is named in honour of Brantford's own "super volunteer" C.J. (Clarence Joseph) Dick. Thanks to C.J., tens of thousands of dollars have been raised for local charities. On February 7, 2006 C.J. was awarded the Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship by the Lieutanant Governor of Ontario, Honourable James K. Bartleman and the Minister for Citizenship and Immigration, Mike Colle. This medal is an official award of the Province and recognizes and encourages the virtues of good citizenship. Recipients must have made outstanding public contributions through exceptional long-term efforts. The award reflects their acts of selflessness, generosity and kindness, and exceptional contributions to community life. C.J. has collected funds for the: * Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, * President's Choice Children's Charity, * Heart and Stroke Foundation, * Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and * as of August 2007, C.J. had raised over $13 000 for AED's to be placed in the community. Located on Park Road North at the intersection with West Street, C.J.'s Park is a small horticultural park featuring beautiful landscaping and benches. Beware of Muggles! Use extreme stealth during daytime hours, and please make sure the lid is replaced tightly to keep the log dry. Thanks, enjoy! Congratulations AfghanQueen and O-ironman for FTF! ON A SAD NOTE - Clarence (C.J.) Dick passed away Sunday, July 22, 2012 following a battle with cancer. He left a lasting legacy of kind-heartedness everyone can learn from. C.J. was remembered this way by the local head of the Heart and Stroke - “He was a kind, selfless gentleman who was compassionate to all.” NOTE - AS OF NOVEMBER 3, 2019 THE CACHE CONTAINER IS A LITTLE LARGER THAN A MICRO, BUT A LITTLE SMALLER THAN A SMALL. THERE IS NO NEED TO GO INTO THE FLOWER GARDEN.
