A statue of John A. Macdonald by George Edward Wade was installed in Kingston, Ontario, until 2021.[1]
Relocation[edit]
In 2021 the statue was removed from its original spot at City Park with plans to move it to Cataraqui Cemetery, where Macdonald is buried.[2][3] In August 2022, the cemetery board voted not to erect the statue.[4] As of August 2023, there were still no plans for the statue.[5]
