We have again reserved the hall and the kitchen at NOTRE CENTRE. Registration will begin at 8:30 am. Come in to meet other cachers and plan your caching day. Coffee will be available all day. Feel free to start later if that suits you better. We have the hall until 6 pm and will begin closing down at 5 pm.

Cocagne Island Exploration
2026-02-28 09:00 - 15:00
Because the Geocaching NB group organize an annual trek to the Cocagne Island, and carefully monitor the integrity of the ice leading up to it, we are able to offer a unique snowshoeing experience. Gale Connor Breau has kindly agreed to lead hikers on an 8ish km snowshoe and crampon trek to view the migrating blue heron nests and the beautiful landscape on the north east side of the island where we will break for lunch. This will not involve geocaching but we are grateful to that community for sharing their event day with any interested parties.
Moncton area carpool meetup at Centennial Park lot near dog park at 8:15 am. Event meetup at Notre Centre, 468 Route 530, Grande-Digue, at 9 am for carpooling to Chemin-Surette Road, Cocagne, where parking may be limited. Please come prepared with both crampons AND snowshoes, crampons will likely be best for crossing over to the island on the ice, but have your snowshoes attached to your packs as they will be needed to explore the island. Any questions, contact Maureen Wallace 506 850 9401.

See below for the details received from Tom Jenicek with Geocaching NB regarding their Feb. 28 event:

Feb 28th Snowshoe to Shediac island, Cocagne island, and surrounding trails. A geocaching event open to all hikers. Come join the fun!Icewalk Update!

All is set at the Notre Centre event headquarters.

We will be showing slideshows of previous Icewalks, see yourself in action.

A cash bar will be available!

Potluck contributions are appreciated! I will be bringing a soup and my wife’s fricot.

About 50+ new caches will be published prior to the event (going into the queue tomorrow), including COCAGNE ISLAND and trails in the Grande Digue area. Shediac Island will be a great hike but no new caches.

WEATHER: Absolutely perfect snowshoe weather with an overnight low of -6°C and a high on event day of -1°C and SUNNY!

This may be the last Icewalk, so come enjoy this super fun day, see you all soon!
