The City of Kingston’s History and Legacy of Sir John A. Macdonald Working Group has formally recommended that the Macdonald statue in City Park be removed.
The group met on Monday night to discuss the statue in response to the continued presence of the Revolution of the Heart ceremonial action, which has covered the statue and is calling for its removal.
