The Lake Country Art Gallery is once again left frustrated and dismayed after the Pride flag from the front of the building was taken, yet again.
Gallery curator Wanda Lockurator said that over the past year, the Pride flag has gone missing multiple times, most recently in February. After the first disappearance Lockurator hoped the flag had been taken without ill intent 香蕉视频直播 perhaps as part of a scavenger hunt 香蕉视频直播 but now fears the actions are intentional and malicious.

RCMP have been contacted but told Lock that without evidence, such as video, there is nothing for officers to follow up on.
The flag has since been found by police, "dumped" behind a Lake Country School, alongside its broken post.
The Gallery has already purchased a new flag and as soon as they are able to source a replacement pole, will fly the rainbow in front of the building once again.
