In what will likely be heralded as a bleak Groundhog Day prognostication, one of Canada’s most famous rodents died.
On Groundhog Day 1999, children burst into tears when Wiarton Willie’s handlers announced the groundhog had died two days before. In his place, a white groundhog they claimed to be Willie was brought out in a tiny pine coffin, holding a carrot.
This year’s replacement — another white groundhog — was recruited last summer from Cleveland, Ohio, said town spokesperson Danielle Edwards. The annual tradition at the Shubenacadie Wildlife Park, broadcast live on Facebook, has been closed to visitors for the past two years because of COVID-19 gathering restrictions — and the in-person festivities were cancelled in 2020 because of a storm.As expected, Sam was the first groundhog in North America to make a prediction — thanks to the Atlantic time zone.
