They are talking about having this done by summer but like when the Berlin wall came down in 1989, there's a movement to make sure this is done quickly. Canada's first prime minister has been covered up on the front lawn of Queen's Park for five years. Protesters vandalized a statue of Sir John A. Macdonald at Queens Park on July 18, 2020. Photo by Ernest Doroszuk / Toronto Sun/Postmedia Network The monument was one of many to be targeted across Canada by vandals upset about Canada's history of residential schools. Activists contended Macdonald was an architect of the country's residential school system that took Indigenous children from their families in an effort to assimilate them. There has been much debate about what to do about the statue in recent times. The most recent development had the support of the governing Progressive Conservatives and Liberal MPPs.

Premier Doug Ford told The Toronto Sun he is pleased the statue will once again see the light of day. In addition to this decision, legislators are also working toward a secondary site or signage that could offer an Indigenous perspective of the situation.

'I have a tremendous amount of pride and gratitude in my heart,' said SUN editor, Roelien D'Amico. 'Not only because we managed to bring the knitting and crocheting community together, but also because you have supported me in my dream to bring joy and warmth to others. This project has been years in the making, and I'm extremely proud of what we have achieved together. Thank you.' D'Amico encourages knitters and crocheters to deliver their completed blankets to The Mudpie Co at 771 Marine Drive, The Bluff, or to the SUN office at 33 Main Road, Doonside, Amanzimtoti, by June 2. 'We need to get a final count for auditing purposes and to ensure that each blanket goes to a deserving recipient,' she said. 'If you know of someone in the community who would benefit from a warm gesture, please email your suggestion – along with a short motivation and contact details, to sunads@ Our goal is to deliver the blankets throughout the month of July.' As part of the project wrap-up, winners of vouchers from Pia Health and Beauty Spa, Coffee Theatre, and Clear Waters Spur will also be announced.
