Statue of John A. Macdonald, Bronze memorial sculpture in Victoria Park, Regina, Canada

The statue depicts Canada's first Prime Minister John A. Macdonald in bronze, measuring nearly two meters in height with a commemorative plaque at its base.

Created by sculptors Sonia de Grandmaison and John Cullen Nugent, this monument was unveiled during Canada's centennial celebrations in 1967 after decades of fundraising efforts.

The statue represents multiple perspectives on Canadian history, reflecting both the nation's founding leadership and complex relationships with Indigenous communities.

The municipal government removed the statue from Victoria Park in April 2021, placing it in storage pending consultations about its future location.

The bronze sculpture was cast in five separate pieces using a specialized lost wax technique that sculptor John Cullen Nugent adapted from candlemaking methods.
