This statue of John A. MacDonald, Canada's first prime minister and long-time resident of Kingston, stands in Kingston's City Park.

As one would expect given its prominence, this statue has a seen many things happen around it. I has been the focus for ceremonies in this year, as the 200th anniversary of MacDonald's birth is celebrated. In 2013, it was also vandalized, spraypainted with signs condemning Canadian settlement colonialism.
