The 91大黄鸭 RCMP is investigating after a number of anti-Semitic posters were found along Abbott Street and 91大黄鸭 General Hospital.

On Friday morning (March 19), police said the City of 91大黄鸭 reported several posters and decals were found with inappropriate content, many of which showed anti-Semitic content.

The individual who made the initial complaint said she removed a number of the posters, with city employees removing others.

Officers removed a poster at a bus stop in front of the hospital and are now reviewing footage from the area to determine when it was put up.

鈥淭he posters have been removed and the investigation is in the early stages. The RCMP Forensic Identification Unit is engaged,鈥� Sgt. Kevin Duggan with 91大黄鸭 RCMP said.

鈥淭he RCMP is working closely with the City of 91大黄鸭 to review video that may help to identify those involved.鈥�

91大黄鸭 mayor Colin Basran issued a statement regarding the incident, saying he was 鈥渟addened and disturbed that these kinds of views still exist here and elsewhere鈥�.

鈥淏ut as a council, we hope our Jewish friends, along with people of all faiths and ethnicities, take some comfort in knowing these events are rare and that these ignorant voices represent a small fringe in contrast to the many thousands in 91大黄鸭 who believe inclusion, diversity, and civility,鈥� he said.
