The city has stated repairs on the shelters are underway.
On Twitter, Peterborough city councillor Matt Crowley shared images of the shelter damages, calling the acts “unacceptable.”
“We all do our best to try and make our city a better place to live, only to have a small group try and tear it down around us,” he said. “This needs to stop now. Our patience is at an end.”
