Regina city council votes to remove statue of Sir John A. Macdonald from park


Council spent nearly four hours Wednesday hearing from people for and against removing it from Victoria Park.
John Hopkins, chairman of Reconciliation Regina, told council the statue is offensive to many people, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous.
Trevor Lakness said he doesn’t have faith the city will put the statue in another location, pointing out that a statue of Metis leader Louis Riel has been in storage for many years.
Some people have suggested putting the statue in a museum, moving it behind the provincial legislature or to the RCMP Heritage Centre.
Others suggested the statue should stay put and have a plaque explaining the history of Macdonald and his influence on Confederation and Indigenous policies.
