Topic | John Paul II |
Occasion | Papal visit to Canada |
Description | In the centre the Pope's personal coat of arms. The background features a stylized map of Canada, with red dots that mark of the stops in the Pope's journey from coast to coast. The last place, Fort Simpson in the Northwest Territories, could not be reached at that time because the airport was snowed. The Pope then promised that he would return later date, and he kept that promise. In 1987 he visited Fort Simpson. |
