unusual facts about Yuri Shymko



Killarney, Ontario

The township of Hansen was originally named Stalin after Joseph Stalin, but was renamed in 1986 when Ontario MPP Yuri Shymko successfully had a private member's bill passed through the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to rename the township in honour of athlete Rick Hansen, who was in the midst of his international Man in Motion tour at the time.
