“Unfortunately, no suspects were identified in the investigation in 2019.”

Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick said on Sunday that municipal staff will be looking at what can be done about the latest vandalism.

Garlick said he is hoping the current damage can be cleaned up just as easily as the vandalism in 2019.

The crosswalk on Kalamalka Road, near Kal Beach, was installed in 2017 as a symbol of inclusion.
