Wiarton Willie is a famous Canadian groundhog who lives in the community of Wiarton in Bruce County, Ontario. Every February 2, on Groundhog Day, Willie takes part in the local Wiarton Willie Festival. His role is to predict if there will be an early spring or not.

Unlike other weather predicting groundhogs like Punxsutawney Phil (from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania), Willie is an albino.

There has been more than one Willie over the years. The original Willie was famously found dead, in his burrow three days before the scheduled appearance in 1999. That year's festival became a memorial for the special rodent, though his keeper claims that Willie provided his prediction before his death. He was replaced the following year, by another albino groundhog


rest in peace
