What better way to celebrate International Earthcache Day (October 12, 2014) than to virtually explore some of the most favourited Earthcaches around this great country.

Using the images below, identify the flag and the corresponding Earthcache in each Province and Territory. Take some time to learn about what different areas have to offer, then record the GC number to solve the puzzle after the images.

province_09 province_11 province_02 province_10 province_03 province_06 province_04 province_07 province_13 province_05 province_01 province_08 province_12

Now with the correct Earthcaches identified, fill in the table with below, and remove all the letters from the GC numbers

((AB + BC + NB + NS + NU + ON + PE + QC + SK) - (NL / (NT + YT)) - (MB * 2)) / 1000

Take your result, and ADD it to the NORTH coordinates, and ADD to the WEST coordinates
