Canadian Heritage Seekers was founded in January of 1980 and has had a dedicated membership of TH'ers ever since. Over the years many faces have come and gone but several die hard members are still with us. Most of our members are actively involved in club hunts and other aspects of club life. Our members are well dispersed across the Niagara Penninsula but are never far when it comes to lending a hand to a fellow club member.

Our meetings are held on the 2nd Sunday of every Month at the Coronation 50+ Centre, 5925 Summer Street (corner of Portage Rd.), Niagara Falls. Ontario. You must enter from the parking lot entrance on Portage Road. January thru March the meetings are held at 2:00P.M. and April thru November they are held at 7:30 P.M.. In December we hold our Pot Luck Dinner and Games Night at 6:00 P.M. Weather permitting,we have a finds of the month board. Winners receive a small prize for their efforts. In addition we hold several challenge find contests throughout the year. In particular,the "Gold Coin Challenge" in which the members are given clues to locate a metal object which is "buried in the ground". That object can then be redeemed for a gold coin.
OUR CLUB'S AIMS To help develop our hobby and gain the acceptance in the eye of the public, and do this while giving full consideration to others rights and privileges.
