Windows at Cambridge, Ont., pharmacy and bistro smashed by rocks with anti-vaccination message
CBC
Police are investigating after two businesses in Cambridge, Ont., reported having rocks with anti-vaccination messaging on them thrown at and through their windows.
Zaz Bistro reported on its Facebook page that someone threw rocks through the plate glass window at 1:05 a.m. ET Wednesday.
"We are very saddened and shaken by this vandalism! Zaz Bistro does not write nor influence the rules, we just do our best to remain open," a Facebook post said. "As a small business, it's been a tough year. Following mandated provincial rules is the only way we can stay open."
Cambridge Medical Pharmacy also had a post on Facebook showing similar rocks that had been thrown through its window. The two businesses are approximately 350 metres apart on King Street East in the Preston area of Cambridge.
"This is very disrespectful toward the health care workers, doctors and nurses who work day and night to keep people healthy. This is so disappointing," the pharmacy's post said.
While the motive for the vandalism is unknown, it does come after the province introduced measures where people would need to provide proof of vaccinations in some venues, such as for indoor dining, meeting spaces, theatres and cinemas.
Pharmacist and owner Nimmit Vyas told CBC Kitchener-Waterloo no one was in the business when the rock was thrown through the window. He noticed the window was broken when he went to open the blinds to the pharmacy's front window Wednesday morning.
