01 Aug Big Joe Muffraw. A new 16 foot wooden carving statue unveiled this weekend in Mattawa ON.
Joe Montferrand (1802-1864) is one of Canada’s most famous lumberjacks and athletes, and as Joe Mufferaw, has recently become one of Canada’s folk heroes.
He would marvel at the changes in the forest industry, as shown in the Forestry Expo in Mattawa beginning today and extending through Saturday.
The Mattawa Chamber of Commerce and the Mattawa Forestry Committee for Economic Development recognized his importance by commissioning a 16-foot carved pine statue of him for their Explorer’s Point.
