Date and Time: Thursday, October 3, 2013 at 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM (rain or shine)
Meeting: A social time to meet other local geocachers and to discuss tips and tricks for hiding and seeking urban geocaches. Food and beverages are available for purchase at the clubhouse.
In the Mimico Harbour there are two T5 caches that have not had a lot of finders because a boat is required. After 6:00 PM Nonsuch 30 will be providing a boat to ferry anyone who may want to add these caches to their Grid. (Life jackets will be provided, but be sure and dress appropriately and have good shoes for climbing over rocks.)
If you have a kayak or canoe you are welcome to bring it and you could launch it from the MCC docks to paddle out for the search/find yourself.
There are also plenty of geocaches in the Humber Bay Parks and along the Mimico Linear Path for those that are interested.
-------------------------------------
Humber Bay Park is actually two parks divided into an east and west portion joined together by a pedestrian bridge of unusual design. This park is located west of Downtown Toronto on two spits that straddle the outflow from Mimico Creek.
Just over 5 million cubic metres of lake fill were used to create the park which was opened in the summer of 1984. There are ongoing projects at the park to restore habitat, including planting shrubs and trees and establishing meadows of wildflowers, habitat for warm-water fish, a butterfly habitat and wetlands.
Amenities include walking trails, picnic areas, a playground and beachfront. There is also a pond for fly casting, RC sailboats, plus a wheelchair accessible fishing pier. The west park features an historic lighthouse. In addition to all of the above, Humber Bay Park also provides some spectacular views towards Downtown Toronto.
