Geocache Description:

This is a short multi cache located on the Waterfront Trail in Whitby.  The posted coordinates will bring you to a sign that gives you a bit of history about the Ontario Hospital built on this land 100 years ago.  While only one building from the original hospital is still standing, the photo's on this sign will provide you with the information to find the final cache.


Looking at the information sign titled Whitby Mental Health Centre, determine the following information.

 

1.  How many acres of land were purchased by the Government of Ontario in February of 1912 on this site for construction of the "Ontario Hospital for the Insane" as it was called at the time.     = A

 

2.  How many residential cottages were built, capable of housing a total of 1500 acute and chronic patients =  B

 

Add  to the following bogus North Coordinate and add B  to the following West Coordinate.  Disregard any decimal points.

N 43 50.323  W 78 57.024
