Fantastic to meet Graham and Melissa from Canada again yesterday! 🇨🇦❤️
They’re teachers from near Toronto and absolutely loved their visit to the Wrexham Miners Project — especially the links between the Terry Fox story, education, history and art.
It was brilliant to see how much the story of the Gresford Disaster and the Miners’ history resonated with them, and how these stories connect Wrexham with communities across the world.
They even got to meet Jeff Ivy from Texas 🇺🇸 and hear his amazing story of how he discovered Wrexham and helped share the Wrexham story across the pond.
This is exactly what we love about the Miners — bringing people together through history, stories, education and community. ❤️
Wrexham really is a place with stories that travel far beyond Wales. 🌎⛏️
