Queen’s Park statues getting wrapped to prevent vandalism at upcoming protest

Do you have Sir John A in a Box? Well you better let him out he can’t breathe.

A year after protective hoarding was removed from the Ontario legislature’s statue of Sir John A. Macdonald, all monuments on the grounds are going under wraps to protect them from damage.

The move comes as MPPs return to Queen’s Park Monday for their spring session in the wake of a heated protest March 4 against Premier Doug Ford’s student financial aid cuts that saw a monument to Sir George Brown marred with graffiti.
