This is first cache in the "Brantford Public Art Series". The final container is a small centrifuge tube wrapped in camouflaged tape. This is a two stage Multi Cache. Stage 1 will take you to St. Andrew's Park, where you will have to perform a task to get the necessary information for the final location. The final is located a short walk away. Parking can be found on Palmerston Ave.
“Hope” is central to the Children's Memorial Garden in St. Andrew's Park. It is a two-part modern sculpture developed as a memorial tribute for children in the City of Brantford. A guiding principle of the project was to involve the community, particularly children, in the creation of an artist-led community art piece. Artist Heather Vollans was selected through an open competition process, and developed the concept for the abstract mosaic sculpture after a series of art workshops with children.
Over 200 children and community members participated in the design and creation of mosaic elements that were incorporated by Vollans into the artwork.
