About
The Township of Wilmot is honoured to be the proud home for The Prime Ministers Path by Createscape Waterloo Region located beside Castle Kilbride in Baden. This Path invites you to stroll through Canada's history since Confederation to explore some of the life sized, bronze sculptures of our Prime Ministers. Created by renowned Canadian artists which include Ruth Abernethy, Nathan Scott, Darren Byers, Fred Harrison and Morgan MacDonald flank the walking trail through parkland beside the National Historic Site. Subtle symbols and icons cleverly hidden and embedded in each sculpture known as "easter eggs" will encourage you to explore the triumphs, tragedies and tribulations of Canada's Prime Ministers and the eras in which they lived.
Celebrate Culture Day in Wilmot Township and take a selfie of you and your friends with Kim Campbell, Lester B. Pearson, Sir Robert Borden, Sir John A. Macdonald or William Lyon Mackenzie King . They are waiting on the Path for you to be discovered!
After your photo op, enjoy a discounted tour of Castle Kilbride with a special $5 admission.
