Geocaching Organizations in Canada


Cache-tech

Recommended Posts

This topic is to let you know about the regional geocaching organizations near you. These groups sponsor event caches and online forums where geocachers in the same area can get to know each other and share information. Geocaching organizations play a pivotal role in maintaining good relations with the land managers for the parks and forests where we play our game. Getting involved in your local group is a great way to make new friends and find answers to questions about the local caching scene.

 

It is up to representatives of the organizations to maintain this thread as a list of links to the Geocaching Groups in Canada. Please feel free to write a brief post about your geocaching group, giving its name, the area where most of its members live, and a link to the group's website, forums or mailing list. If your information changes later on, post a follow-up post.

 

Please do not use this pinned topic to promote individual events or initiatives that your group is undertaking. You can start separate topics for those. The moderating team may split out off topic posts into their own threads.

 

Finally, please note that this thread is not an endorsement by Groundspeak of any organization. It's just a convenient list of links.

T/\G - Toronto Area Geocachers has launched now at http://torontogeocaching.com

 

This is a resource for cachers in the Greater Toronto Area, we have forums for discussion and will be reviving the GTA Geofriends events as T/\G events now. We have links to other area caching associations and will be adding resources to the site, including a Geocaching 101 section and Howtos as our organization grows.

 

This is also where the Ontario Trails Project, a free recreational trails map of Ontario (for your GPS) is hosted.

Throw it out there - I'd be more than willing to host the site free of charge if you guys are hitting bwidth cap constantly.

 

rjo@rynet.com if interested (any other association for that matter - if you are ever looking for a reliable host for your site and your requirements aren't excessive (i.e. your site doesn't suck bwidth and ram like a mad man :D) I'd be more than happy to help out)

I would like to introduce to you S.A.G.A. Home of the World`s Biggest Nickel. Sudbury Area Geocachers Association newest forum can be found at this link.

 

http://saga.forumotion.ca/

 

Please bear with us as this forum is only 2 days old and is still under construction, slowly I might add as I am not a computer wizard, but trying my best to develop a fun and informative forum. Please feel free to sign up and suggest helpful pointers to improve our forum. Any help I can get would be fantastic. Keep an eye out for S.A.G.A.`s debut event coming soon.
