This is the seventeenth cache of a series of caches called "The Heart Of Oak Series". These caches are named after ships that have connections to the greater Saint John Area, either built here at the Saint John Shipbuilding Yard, or that have names similar to areas around Saint John.
This cache is a little different from the others of the series. This cache is not named after any ship of the Canadian Navy or the Royal Navy, rather after the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps that trains in Hampton. Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps HALIFAX was formed roughly 30 years ago under the unit number 311. HALIFAX was formed under another name, it was originally RCSCC OSSEKEAG named after the local creek in Hampton, however to commemerate the commissioning of HMCS HALIFAX they renamed the unit RCSCC HALIFAX.
HALIFAX was formed very similarly to RCSCC BRAS D'OR, due to the large number of cadets travelling to the KV to attend BRAS D'OR they opened up HALIFAX to attract more local youth. HALIFAX is known for its involvement in the local community, and can be seen during Remembrance Day parading along side the local legion.
