Holding his grandfather’s hand

“I have waited a long time to hold my grandpa’s hand again”, said Kiefer Sutherland

Actor Kiefer Sutherland stands next to the newly-unveiled bronze statue of his grandfather, Tommy Douglas, and holds his hand. A huge audience encircled the area completely for the unveiling, and a large contingent of media was present for the ceremonies. The sun came out at about the time Sutherland stood by the statue, causing the actor to exclaim at the timing; he later spoke at the packed-out Legion Hall, and shared stories that he heard from his grandfather about the “mystical” place called Weyburn. His visit on Friday was his first-ever trip to the city, and he said he wants to return with his daughters and grandson to show them this statue.
