Atlantic Canada's Hidden Histories (ACHH)

Atlantic Canada's Hidden Histories GeoTour consists of geocaches that have been placed at sites, in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, that demonstrate the rich, diverse histories of Atlantic Canada. These histories have previously been underrepresented or perhaps are little known and involve marginalised populations or communities.

Initially launched in July, 2022 the GeoTour is being implemented in phases and will grow over time. In the first two phases you will discover locations that celebrate the deep, Black history of Atlantic Canada. Participants will have the opportunity to earn geocoins for completion of defined segments.
