Geocache Description:


This cache is not located at the posted coordinates, although they are likely a good place to start your journey.

In order to find this cache, you will need to complete the "Edmonton's Church Street- CARW2020" Adventure Lab". This Adventure Lab can be found at https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/ChurchStreet. After each of the five locations at the Adventure Lab, you will receive a few of the numbers necessary to find the final coordinates for this cache. 

Edmonton's Church Street (96 Street) is an often-overlooked area of the Edmonton inner city. Located at the crossroads of Chinatown, Little Italy, and several other historically working class neighbourhoods, Church Street features 12 churches between 106 Avenue and 111 Avenue. Most of these churches feature historical plaques to explain their history and the (most often) immigrant communities that founded each congregation. In some instances, the church buildings are used today by the same denomination and cultural groups that founded them. In other cases, they have been repurposed by other congregations or uses- such as the Sacred Heart Church of the First Peoples (Indigenous Catholic), Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church (now "Rhema Chapel") or even St. Stephen the Martyr Church (now an architectural firm and event hosting space).  

This final cache is located within several blocks of Church Street, at a location that is a bit less visible than anywhere right on 96 Street itself. Church Street, and the Boyle-McCauley neighbourhood, is an inner city neighbourhood that faces conventional inner city challenges. As you complete the Adventure Lab, you may encounter people who are homeless or relying on the various social agencies that can be found in the neighbourhood. The area is generally safe during the daytime, but you will see visible poverty and inner city issues. Out of respect for the residents who live in this neighbourhood and for your own safety, completing the Adventure Lab or this final cache at night is strongly discouraged.

Cache is a camoed pre-form container.
