Lea Vivot has unveiled the
beginning stages of the Tommy Douglas sculpture. "He was a
Scottish-born Baptist minister who became a prominent Canadian
social democratic politician. As leader of the Saskatchewan
Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) from 1942 and the
seventh Premier of Saskatchewan from 1944 to 1961, he led the
first socialist government in North America and introduced
universal public Medicare to Canada. He was elected as its first
federal leader and served in that post from 1961 to 1971. In
2004, he was voted "The Greatest Canadian" of all time
in a nationally televised contest organized by the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation."
