Town of South Bruce Peninsula Janice Jackson coaxed Wiarton Willie out of his burrowed hole on Wednesday and with grey skies overhead and light snow falling and Willie did not see his shadow, predicting an early Spring.

Last year, Wiarton Willie was nowhere to be seen in a video marking the day, with officials calling an early spring after throwing a fur hat into the air — a move they said recalled the tradition’s first edition more than 60 years ago.

Months later, the town of South Bruce Peninsula, where the community of Wiarton is located, publicly acknowledged that Willie had died of an abscessed tooth.

Mayor Janice Jackson said the albino rodent died “quite a while before the last Groundhog Day,” but didn’t specify when, and noted that a brown groundhog would take his place this year.
