It’s a great way to discover new areas and get some exercise while hunting treasures. For tourists, it’s an interactive way to discover unique features and gems the locals rave about—like great eateries, scenic vistas or fascinating stories. Best described as a high-tech treasure hunt, geocaching sees participants use GPS-enabled devices, such as smartphones, to navigate to a set of coordinates to locate a hidden container, known as a geocache. More than 2 million geocaches have been hidden around the world, and they are everywhere from urban settings to off-trail locations. All geocaches contain a logbook for participants to sign, and they come in countless shapes and sizes. Geocachers also log their finds online at Geocaching.com, and often post comments and photos. People of all ages and abilities can enjoy geocaching. It’s especially fun with kids, because larger caches usually contain inexpensive trade items (like bouncy balls, stickers or key chains). The rule regarding these treasures is simple; leave something of equal or greater value than what you take. What DoeS a Geocache look lIke? All you’ll need is a GPS device or GPS-enabled mobile phone, a free Geocaching.com membership, and a sense of adventure! Geocache containers come in all shapes and sizes. They are often quite cleverly camouflaged. courtesy Geocaching.com © S.

The Heritage Hide’n’Seek GeoTour is set up like a game, where each cache is assigned a point value depending on the amount of effort required to find it. Anyone who collects 100+ points, as a result of finding several of the caches, is eligible to receive a collectible coin from Parks Canada.

This is largely due to the businesses and entrepreneurs who create jobs and to the women and men who get up each morning to go to the plant, or the office, or another place of work to make Ontario a more prosperous province. At the same time, the government has made strategic investments to support growth. Enhanced education, skills and training, new infrastructure, a competitive business environment and support for startups and small businesses are helping create good jobs. On the surface, the numbers tell a positive story: Our economy has outperformed those of all G7 nations since 2014; Our unemployment rate, at 5.5 per cent, is the lowest it has been in almost 20 years; and Last year alone, 500 net new jobs were created, on average, each day in Ontario, and they were mostly full‐time.
