Tricia Janine Helfer was born on April 11, 1974 and is a
Canadian actress and former model, best known for her role as
Number Six in the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica miniseries.
Helfer was born and raised in the rural community of Donalda in
Stettler County, Alberta. She was raised on her family's grain
farm. In 2003, the television series Battlestar Galactica was used
as the basis for a three hour miniseries on the Sci Fi channel.
Helfer played the role of Number Six, a humanoid Cylon operative.
She continued that role as a regular cast member in the TV series,
which completed its fourth and final season on March 20, 2009. Due
to the unique nature of the Number Six character—there are
many "copies" of Number Six with distinct
personalities—Helfer has, in effect, played numerous roles on
the series.

The Legacy Trail
The Legacy Trail is a collection of geocaches that circles its
way over 100 miles on country roads traversing some of the most
scenic and spectacular landscape in this part of the Canadian
Badlands. A large number of caches in a variety of types, sizes and
difficulty are placed on the Trail. Every town, village and hamlet
in the Canadian Badlands has its own cache. Some caches were named
after local historic events and people, as well as celebrities who
grew up in this area. Some caches were sponsored by geocachers who
attended the Best of the Bad Mega Event. The Legacy Trail was
produced by the Canadian Badlands Geocaching Association for the
Best of the Bad Mega Event.
The Canadian Badlands
The Canadian Badlands in Alberta are like no other place on
earth, home to the world's most extensive dinosaur bonebeds,
badlands and hoodoos, and a world-class museum that shelters a 75
million-year-old legacy. The region is rich in culturally and
historically significant sites that tell the story of the First
Nations people and early settlers, and of a complex and diverse
modern society that is still deeply rooted in the spirit of the
frontier.
