The Pride flag at Emily Stowe Public School was removed and set on fire twice in the past month.
NORWICH - This kind of vandalism has no place in our community.
That's the message that the Township of Norwich would like to get across after someone vandalised the Pride flag at Emily Stowe Public School not once, but twice.
The Township says the flag was removed and set on fire on May 16th and on May 24th.
Mayor Jim Palmer says this is unacceptable.
"The Township believes that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, and acts of vandalism and violence such as flag-burning spread a message of hate. They have no place in a welcoming community like Norwich."
The Pride flag will fly on the community flag pole outside the Norwich Community Centre from Friday May 30th to Friday June 6th, to celebrate the beginning of Pride Month.
