Grande Prairie RCMP is investigating after reports of “hateful and intolerant” behaviour towards the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
RCMP said since September, multiple Pride flags have been stolen from the VLA-Montrose area and a burnt flag was found in the downtown area. It was also reported that the Pride mural at 102 Avenue and 101 Street was spray painted with hateful signs and words multiple times.
Police said it is unknown whether the incidents are connected.
