Vandals painted over the colours at a rainbow crosswalk in Vernon this weekend.
The hastily completed paint job at Kalamalka Lake saw splashes of white paint rolled over each colour in the rainbow walkway.
Streaks of paint from tires and shoes were visible through the crosswalk. The odour of fresh paint was still strong in the air at 9 a.m. Sunday (July 21).
A discarded paint lid was found next to the fence near the crosswalk.
The colours were added to the crosswalk back in 2017.
