Tommy Douglas' steady gaze was altered somewhat recently, after some unknown culprits broke off a part of the late premier's glasses from the bronze statue that was gifted to the City of Weyburn and her citizens by world-renowned sculptor Lea Vivot. The statue will likely have to be taken back to Vivot's foundry in Toronto to be properly repaired; the sculptor was considering returning to Weyburn to put on an exhibition of some of her sculptures, possibly in September. The sculptor is upset about this damage, but also about the fact the plaques detailing who the statue is about and who the sculptor is have still not been installed at the base of the statue almost a full year after its unveiling.Review photo 4925 – Greg Nikkel
