Description
English: Unveiling of the monument in memory of Sir John A. Macdonald, in Dominion Square, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The statue of Macdonald, the first prime minister of Canada in 1867, is an integral part of the architectural structure. At the top, an allegorical female figure carrying a horn of plenty represents Canada. Below, the children symbolize the seven provinces that made up Canada at the time. The whole monument is the work of a British Columbia sculptor, George E. Wade.
