The Hatching Of Wawa's New Goose
Article by Brian Lachine, Photos supplied The Municipality of Wawa has been gearing up for the Canada 150 celebrations and the unveiling of our new goose on July 1st. We have been receiving updates from Research Casting based in Trenton, Ontario, who are making our beloved new goose. The goose is almost completed and is made of stainless steel with a copper coating to prevent rust, which has plagued our current goose for years. Research Casting is scheduled to be taking down the current goose on Monday, June 26th, so the Sunday evening would have been your very last chance to take your final picture with the goose before it is dismantled. Don’t forget to make your way down to the Tourist Information Center on July
1st for all of our Canada Day activities as well as the grand unveiling of our new goose!
