Nice initiative. Hope it goes well for them.
Now, about that blank wall at the end of the townhouse row at Benton and Courtland ...

Does anyone know why the art project for the former Waterloo County Courthouse at 20 Weber St E, Kitchener has been delayed?
It was
authorized in 2014, and was to be installed in spring 2015, but as of
September 2016 was listed as delayed.

I have long wondered the same thing.

There's still plywood pieces and traffic cones there, if I recall. Something must have run into a problem.

Borden, seriously? I'd have picked Laurier or P.E. Trudeau first, personally.

I don't know how they are determining the order in which the statues are being made. I'm guessing the artist(s) have their practical reasons.

Borden was also PM during the 50th Anniversary of Confederation. I'm certain that I read somewhere that after Sir John A, they wanted to start with Borden and Pearson because of the 50th and 100th anniversaries of Confederation. There are two more statues in the active pipeline but their names won't be revealed until closer to their installation.

I think it's OK now - it's from post #11,112 (!) of the Ion thread.

The art work at the cold courthouse at Weber and Queen has had its long over-due project installed.
