The First People\u2019s Group formally recommended that the Township of Wilmot remove all the existing statues on the Prime Ministers' Path in Baden ahead of an upcoming special council meeting next week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The path has statues of former prime ministers including Sir Robert Borden, William Lyon Mackenzie King, Lester Pearson and Kim Campbell.<\/p>\n

The First People\u2019s Group advised the township on June 30. The final decision will be up to council.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the past couple months, the First People\u2019s Group has engaged the public in terms of the future of the path.<\/a> There was a large response to the engagement with 461 responses in the community engagement forum. <\/span><\/p>\n

The debate over the future of the path became more contentious following the discovery of unmarked graves of Indigenous children at former residential school sites all over Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n

CKMS spoke with Guy Freedman, president of First People\u2019s Group, on July 5.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
