Doreen Olson, a co-ordinator with the South Okanagan-Similkameen National Park Network, says the act of vandalism is an expensive one. She says the sign cost more than $2,000 and it will now be another $3,000 to re-construct it putting the total cost at around $5,000.
The sign had been erected four days earlier on private property along highway 3 near Cawston.
The South Okanagan-Similkameen National Park Network will be organizing a work party to replace and rebuild the billboard structure.
