  • Wawa Goose 瓦瓦镇的镇标大鹅

    1 août 2023, Canada ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    This goose monument was the idea of local entrepreneur Al Turcott, who came to Wawa in 1939 for work and became so fascinated by the area that he sent for his wife and children to join him and settle there.
    By the 1940s, Al began operating Turcott's Dry Goods and Clothing store and became very involved in the community. So much so, that Al played an essential role in securing the Lake Superior route of the then-proposed route of the Trans Canada Highway through Wawa.
    Concerned because the final plans had the highway bypassing Wawa, Al and other local businessmen created the idea of the Goose Monument to stop tourists on their TransCanada trips. Nowadays, the Wawa Goose is one of the most photographed landmarks in North America.

    大鹅纪念碑是当地企业家 Al Turcott 的想法,他于 1939 年来到瓦瓦镇工作,并喜欢上了这里,于是让他的妻子和孩子也搬了过来。到 1940 年代,Al 开始经营 Turcott 的干货和服装店,并积极参与社区活动。艾尔在确保当时拟议的横贯加拿大高速公路通过瓦瓦发挥了重要作用。由于担心高速公路绕过瓦瓦,Al和其他当地商人提出建大鹅纪念碑来吸引游客进行横贯加拿大旅行时在这里停留。如今瓦瓦大鹅是北美出镜率最高的地标之一。

    1 août 2023, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Terry Fox was a young Canadian athlete who had one leg amputated due to cancer at the age of 19. His experience made him realize the value and importance of cancer research.
    In April 1980 Terry Fox embarked on an East-to-West cross-Canada run in order to raise money and awareness for cancer research. He began in St. John’s Newfoundland and ran 5,373 km in 143 days (averaging 42 km per day) through rain, wind, and snow, without taking a single day off.
    By September 1980, his cancer returned and spread to his lungs. He was forced to end his marathon in Thunder Bay, ON and attempt treatment. Sadly, Terry Fox passed away in 1981 at the age of only 22 years old. By this time, he had raised over $23 million towards cancer research. Today, he is considered a national Canadian hero.
    The Terry Fox National Historic Monument is located in the outskirts of Thunder Bay in Ontario's Superior County.
