Another rash of vandalism at Windermere Beach has Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) officials shaking their heads in disgust.
Last weekend vandals defaced the public washroom facilities with graffiti, according to the RDEK that is asking residents to “keep their eyes open” and report such incidents to the RCMP. In this case, spray paint was used to tarnish the facilities.
“It is incredibly disappointing to see this type of defacement happening again,” said Environmental Services Manager Kevin Paterson. “We experienced extensive damage to these facilities last year that was not only costly but led to restricted access to the public for several weeks. We had hoped that was an isolated occurrence, but it appears to be a persistent issue.”
The RDEK encourages anyone who has any information on who is responsible for these acts of vandalism to report it.
Windermere Beach is located at the end of Selkirk Street and features a large beach and swimming area, playground and picnic area.
