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.
