Wilmot Township will soon be home to statues of Canada's 22 former prime ministers.

On Monday, council passed a staff recommendation to go ahead with the project and Mayor Les Armstrong says it was a unanimous decision.

The statues will be built at the Baden landmark Castle Kilbride.

The project had previously struggled to find a home after Kitchener councillors rejected the idea of putting them at Victoria Park and then a petition prompted Wilfrid Laurier University to back out.

It's now up to a committee to decide how to move forward.
