Mindless vandalism not just a Podunk problem

While many in Prince Rupert have expressed alarm at the seemingly rising tide of broken windows and such in the downtown core, it would seem that we are not alone in the Northwest with the woes of vandalism.

Things have become so bad in Kitimat that business leaders there have called a meeting to address that town's vandalism problem and to protect "their investments".

An article in the Northern Sentinel out of Kitimat reports on a meeting planned for earlier tonight in the Aluminum city to investigate ways that the business community could respond to the problem.

It might be an idea for the Prince Rupert community to give them a call to see what they came up with and if it would work here as well...

Enough is enough

Enough is enough.

That's the message from local business owners after yet another wave of vandalism in downtown Kitimat.

And they have called a meeting to discuss how they can protect their investment from this "wilful destruction".

It takes place Tuesday, May 27 at 7 p.m. at Pedro's Grill.
