The Town of Huntsville is asking residents to help protect their community by reporting vandals to the OPP.
This comes after a recent spike in vandalism that Huntsville Director of Operations & Protective Services Steve Hernen says began early in the season.
“What we’re doing is asking the public to take an active role in protecting their community, and if they see something, report it to the OPP,” says Hernen.
According to Hernen, several pieces of public property have already been defaced or destroyed.
“Our streetlight boxes, our solar panel boxes have been vandalised and ripped apart. They’re about $3,000 apiece, we had a flag pole pulled down,” says Hernen. “Our lookout has graffiti painting on it, we’ve cleaned it all up again already this year.”
