The two RV Gypsies went to the Wawa Goose and Information Centre

History book clipartThe Trans Canada Highway's famous roadside attraction, the Wawa Goose Monument is the largest of its kind in Canada. The original goose was erected in 1960 to commemorate the completion of the last link of the Trans Canada Highway more than 50 years ago. Prior to the arrival of the highway, Wawa was only accessible by rail, boat or bush plane. Disappointed that the highway would by-pass the downtown businesses of Wawa, local entrepreneurs decided to erect a monument of a Canada Goose where the Trans Canada Highway met Highway 101 entering Wawa. The idea of a Canada Goose came from the Ojibway interpretation of the name Wawa which means "wild goose".

The sign by the door of a convenience store says, "Caution - keep back, snow and ice may fall from roof" - Well, how would anyone be able to open the door to the store if they kept back??????? The roof overhangs the doorway.
