Geocache Description:

Alberta RCMP Memorial Geocache Series

On May 23^rd, 2023, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police had it’s 150^th Anniversary. To commemorate this major milestone, I have hidden a series of geocaches throughout Red Deer and the surrounding area. Each geocache contains information about an Alberta RCMP Officer(s) who has died on duty over the past 150 years. I hope these caches can act as a small ongoing tribute to the sacrifice made by these brave officers. Sadly, this series includes a total of 38 caches which document the sacrifice of all 43 Alberta RCMP Officers who have died in the line of duty.

Most of the caches will be small bison style metallic tubes. Many of the caches will be straight forward, some will be trickier than others. Each cache contains a logbook – please sign the logbook and place the cache back exactly as you found it.

I challenge the Red Deer Geocaching community to locate all these caches. To the first person to find, sign and log all of these caches, I will award a commemorative RCMP 150 Challenge Coin (See Picture).

For more information on these officers, or to view a complete list of the fallen RCMP Officers across the country, please visit www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/hon

Thank you for your interest in this series!

Big Congratulations to Hide8 and Jasonbee for being the first pair to complete the entire series! The two completed the series on June 16th, 2023 and have earned the Commemorative RCMP 150 Challenge Coin (and of course, bragging rights!)
