Geocache Description:

The Famous Five cache leads you to Henrietta Muir Edwards Park. This park is located on the southern banks of the North Saskatchewan River butted up to the Lower Level Bridge crossing the North Saskatchewan River.

The Famous Five cache leads you to a forested 14 hectare park located north of the Mutart Conservatory. Henrietta Muir Edwards Park is named after one a women's rights activist and reformer. In 1875 she founded the Working Girls' Association to provide vocational training for women and edited a journal called Women's Work in Canada. She helped found the National Council of Women (1893) and also helped found the Victorian Order of Nurses. One of Alberta's "Famous Five" she was a supporter of divorce on equal grounds, prison reform and mother's allowances. She aimed to expand women's rights in the political and the legal sphere and wrote The Legal Status of Women in Alberta (1921) and pressed for the 1917 Dower Act. The eldest of the Famous Five, Henrietta Muir Edwards (born Henrietta Louise Muir), was an artist as well as a legal expert. Women and men alike often came to her for help with legal issues affecting women and children. In 1893, she helped found the National Council of Women of Canada — an organization that continues, to this day, to work to improve the quality of life for women, families and society.
