The first of 22 statues of Canadian Prime Ministers will be unveiled at a Rangers game at the Kitchener Aud on January 9th. The statue of Sir John A Macdonald will then be moved to the Regional History Museum pending agreement on a permanent home for the statues. January 10th (or 11th) is the bicentenary of Macdonald's birth.
I have to give the proponents of this project credit for persevering in the effort to make this gift to K-W after the embarrassing episode last year when the City Council blew it by rejecting the initial proposal to place the statues in Victoria Park. I wonder if they could be incorporated into the renovations of Waterloo Park that are scheduled to begin this year?
