Treasure Hunting for Prizes!

Pack your GPS units and head to the scenic Ottawa Valley in Renfrew County. This region has become a popular geocaching destination.

Seventeen new cache sites alone were developed this spring in partnership with www.geocachingontario.com and the Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation. The caches are spread out through Renfrew County. Each cache contains natural and unique cultural heritage stories from the area. Also, at each cache, a code word can be recovered which the participants can submit on the website www.geocachingontario.com for chances to win thousand of dollars worth or prizes using the online submission form.

There are also another 300 caches sites located in the Ottawa Valley. Their GPS coordinates can be found on www.geocaching.com.

Geocaching promotes the wise use of trails, and the technology leaves “no ecological footprint." It is fun for all ages.

Happy Geocaching!
