SIR JOHN A. MACDONALD STATUE AT QUEEN'S PARK WILL SOON BE VISIBLE TO THE MASSES

The statue of Sir John A. Macdonald at Queens Park is set to become visible to the public at some point this summer. We took this as an opportunity for a bit of a history lesson into Canada's first prime minister and his legacy.
