The Sir John A. MacDonald monument in Hamilton paid tribute to Canada’s first prime minister. In recent years, the statue became a focus of public debate due to MacDonald’s role in policies affecting Indigenous peoples, leading to its removal. While no longer standing, the site reflects ongoing discussions about history, memory, and reconciliation in Hamilton and across Canada.
