Project Overview
The concept of the Prime Ministers Path started in 2013 with a group of citizens raising money to honour Canada’s political history. Read the Project History document for a full timeline.
Public engagement
The public engagement process was result of a March 2024 Wilmot Council decision to create a Working Group to help shape the future of the path. Read the Project Engagement Plan for details about engagement activities.
In May 2025, the Working Group released a set of recommendations based on community feedback. Read the Working Group Recommendations to learn more about the outcome of the public engagement process.
Council decision
At its July 28, 2025 meeting, Council voted unanimously to reinstall the Prime Ministers Path Statues at their original location. Read the media release for full details.
Handover to Createscape
In April 2027, Council voted to lease the statues to Createscape Waterloo Region and provided legal permission for the group to place the statues in the park behind the Township Administration Complex. Read the media release for full details.
As per Council’s 2025 resolution, no further tax dollars will be committed to the project, beyond reinstallation and insurance costs.
