A popular playground named after a Riverview, N.B., teen who was known for her acts of kindness was hit by vandals over the weekend.
Swastikas were spray painted on playground equipment at the Rebecca Schofield All-World Super Play Park at Frank L. Bowser Elementary School overnight Sunday.
Anglophone East School District superintendent Randy MacLEAN was at the school Monday morning and sent a message to parents.
"Aside from vandalism to school and community property being generally unacceptable, we are especially disheartened to have seen the hateful symbols and vulgar language," said MacLEAN in the message.
"Anglophone East School District will continue to provide safe, positive, and affirming learning and working environments for all of our students and staff."
The district is working with the Town of Riverview and has been in contact with the RCMP.
"The position of the vandalism made it impossible to remove immediately and therefore the equipment is covered with tarps until we can access the proper removal materials and equipment," said MacLEAN.
