Geocache Description:

This is part of a series of 20 geocaches placed near outdoor art installations. The geocaches will only be available until mid-October. There will also be a bonus geocache for those who find all 20 in the series (look for a single letter on the logbook or container). For other geocaches in the series, see the bookmark list UCA 2017.


This geocache will be removed by the end of October, when the art season ends.

A geocacher's guide to the series is published as a google doc at https://goo.gl/4jLrRH

The cache is not accessible in the 30 minutes before and after high tide. See the tide tables for info.

Congrats to Stick People on FTF!

Stop 9: "the truth is that if the sea did not cover these mines twice a day, and if they did not occur in rocks of such hardness, one might expect something therefrom" by Andrew Maize

Artist's description of the installation:"The title of this site-specific work, a quote from Samuel de Champlain, speaks to the complexity and absurdity of the colonialist practice of resource-based nomenclature that blatantly disregarded the traditional names used by the Mi’Kmaq for thousands of years on their ancestral and unceded territory. Maize would like to acknowledge that this territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) people first signed with the British Crown in 1725, and would like to sincerely thank Heritage Memorials in Windsor for their technical and material support of this project."
