Sadly there has been a lot of vandalism done recently in our Municipality. Road and ditch damage has been done by 4-wheelers in the Boxalder area, road signs have been stolen in the north of the Municipality A family has had meat stolen from their freezer to find it later rotten and laying in a ditch. This is a huge cost to taxpayers. Missing signs can can also create accidents and make it difficult for emergency services when they are trying to locate a location. OPP have been contacted. It’s advised all residents watch for suspicious ac activity/vehicles. and be sure to lock your doors.
