Sir John A. Macdonald statue removed from Kingston, Ont. park

KINGSTON — A statue of Sir John A. Macdonald has been removed from its pedestal in a downtown Kingston, Ont. park.

Dozens of people gathered in City Park to watch crews take down the statue of Canada’s first prime minister in his hometown. The statue came down around 9 a.m. Friday.

Kingston city council voted this week to remove the statue from the park and place it into storage, then put it up in Cataraqui Cemetery, where Macdonald is buried.
