The college has passed along surveillance footage to Medicine Hat Police Service who will take over the investigation.

“It’s going to be an investigation that they will lead because of the nature of the incident it will be considered a hate crime,” says Price.

According to police, two individuals dressed in all black poured the paint at approximately 1:30 a.m. 

MHPS says the cost to clean up the damages at the crosswalk are estimated at $200.

Price asks anyone with any information about the incident to contact the police.

She says the college will continue to make sure the crosswalk is a part of their campus.

“I think it’s really important that the community is aware that this happened, but also the fact that we will continue to ensure that it’s well represented within our institution, that the crosswalk remains vibrant, and clean, and that we will always respond appropriately.”
