As part of Canada 150 celebrations in 2017, community organizations such as the Ontario Regiment Museum and City of Oshawa Recreation Centres, and , Arts Resource Centre) have collaborated to create a geocaching adventure. Each cache tells a unique story about Oshawa's history and heritage. This initiative encourages residents to explore Oshawa’s parks, trails and various community sites to learn more about significant events in Canada’s and Oshawa’s history. Welcome new recruit to the Ontario Regiment Geocache unit! Your first mission, if you choose to accept it, is to find a Geocache hidden on a Sherman tank at The Ontario Regiment Museum. You must "crack the code" to access the cache and fill out the logbook to prove that you completed the mission! If you want to prove that you are a valuable member of the Ontario Regiment Geocache unit, you must leave behind an army related item in the cache and take one with you as a souvenir. Good Luck!
