A statue of Emily Murphy has been defaced with red paint. The statue, in Emily Murphy Park, remained covered with red paint Tuesday morning. Emily Murphy Park is on the south bank of the North Saskatchewan River between Kinsmen Park and Hawrelak Park. Access to the park is via a roadway named Emily Murphy Park Road. Several other statues in Edmonton have been covered by red paint, with statues of Winston Churchill and Pope John Paul II covered with red paint earlier this summer.
