We had the formal awarding of the limited edition 2011 Moncton/MGA Geocoin yesterday to Pastor Jim 2 and 5beaver

Congratulations Guys!

Jim Nicolle, left, of Riverview and Wayne Gladstone of Salisbury show their geocaching coins at Moncton City Hall yesterday after Moncton Deputy Mayor Kathryn Barnes presented them. The City of Moncton geocaching coin can be obtained by completing the geocaching scavenger hunt, which began on Tuesday, June 7. Nicolle and Gladstone were the first to complete the hunt and did so in three hours.
