TISDALE – RCMP say they’re investigating after they say a “hateful symbol” was painted on a rainbow crosswalk in a Saskatchewan town.
Mounties say they believe the crosswalk, painted in celebration of Pride month, was vandalized earlier this week in Tisdale, northeast of Saskatoon.
An image posted to social media shows a black swastika had been painted on the crosswalk.
A statement from Chief Administrative Officer Lovely Magnaye says the town is disappointed by the matter and is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest.
Towns and cities across Saskatchewan, Canada and the world mark Pride month to recognize those in the LGBTQ+ community.
Anyone with information is asked to contact RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
“Let’s stand together against this kind of behaviour and continue to take pride in the place we all call home,” Magnaye said in the town’s statement.
