"Sir John A. Macdonald" Canada Day Celebration
Column published: 26 June 2007
By: Rick Roberts, Biography & Archived Articles

Spend an entertaining and educational afternoon (2-3:30 pm) with Canada's first Prime Minister "Sir John A. Macdonald"! And... drop into Global Genealogy & History shoppe for complimentary bottled water, coffee, tea and treats (open 9-5pm)

David Morris as Sir John A. Macdonald

Popular historical re-enactor, David Morris, presents his historically accurate one-man show as Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. Mr. Morris' interpretation of Sir. John is entertaining and educational for everyone from children to adults. Sir John A.'s political career was such an integral part of Canada in his era, that to study one is to study the other.

This monologue covers the events up to confederation in 1867 and the years beyond, as Macdonald served as Canada's first Prime Minister. Special emphasis is given to the creation of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

The script is interspersed with humorous anecdotes and quotes from Macdonald's writings and speeches. The colourful personality of the most famous of Canada's Fathers of Confederation shines through.
