The man who created a controversial statue of John A. Macdonald says he's pleased it's sparking a conversation about the country's horrific treatment of Indigenous Peoples, but there should have been public consultation on its removal.
The John A. Macdonald Historical Society commissioned artist John William Dann to create a sculpture of the first prime minister in 1981. It was given to the city as a gift and unveiled at the front entrance of Victoria City Hall on Canada Day in 1982.
The statue was recently removed because Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps says it serves as a painful reminder of the violence inflicted on First Nations at residential schools.
