Anti-Indigenous graffiti was sprayed on Algoma Steel property in Jamestown on the same day the Pride crosswalk was vandalized downtown
Sault Police is investigating a series of incidents involving graffiti made over the weekend with black spray paint — including a disturbing incident caught on camera outside Algoma Steel.
One photo posted anonymously includes a man seen from the back who appeared to be in the process of painting the message with black spray paint. Laura Devoni, director of corporate affairs for Algoma Steel, confirmed on Tuesday that the company removed the graffiti. Also on Saturday, the words 'paint it black' were spray painted in bold letters on the Pride crosswalk at Spring and Bay streets. It was the second time the crosswalk has been defaced in the three months since it was moved to that location.
