Canada's most celebrated groundhog has been the centre of celebrations in Wiarton, Ont., since 1956. Now almost 10,000 people gather each February 2 to witness this albino rodent’s big prediction. Early spring supporters are encouraged to come dressed in their brightest Hawaiian duds while winter fans wear black and white.
