This cache has been placed for the CCARW10 event, held May 1-2, 2010.
It was voted the best Cache Revival and the Best Overall Cache of CCARW10.
"This cache exists because Nose Hill is so darned big and flat."
Background
Back in September of 2002 reastick placed the original "You Are The Star" cache on Nose Hill (see the original page here). He provided five waypoints and a center that could be made into a star. The cache started out as a regular multi-cache but was converted in 2005 such that people could do the cache everywhere in the world. Cachers could log the cache by uploading a picture of their track log. Ever since it was placed on a locationless bookmark list it became popular and submissions from all over the world were logged.
In January 2006 groundspeak archived and locked all locationless caches. Since that date these caches could only be found on waymarking.com.
Instructions
This tribute cache is a slightly modified version of reastick's original cache. To ensure that this cache did not have any proximity issues, the pattern had to be moved. The size of the pattern has not changed. Second change is the requirement to find the final and sign the log. And you can earn bonus Karma Points!
On Nose Hill park six bright orange stakes have been placed at the following coordinates:

You can find a GPX file with all the waypoints here. Use the "Save Link As..." option of your browser to store this file.
You need to visit each of the waypoints and collect a number that has been written on each stake. You'll find the final at N 51 6.ABC W 114 6.DEF.

Bonus!
As a bonus, which will get you 1000 karma points, upload a picture of the track log on your GPSr. Let's see if there is as much creativity today as there was on the original page. Note that this is not required to log the cache. For people that are using a Garmin device, you can download and use the xImage program to create screenshots of your device (like I did on the right).
There are some great stars on the original gallery. Just some in no particular order:
