RCMP seeking to identify individual who placed noose at MLA Allard’s house

Nov 5, 2021 | 9:57 AM

The Grande Prairie RCMP is asking for the public’s help in identifying the person or persons who placed a noose in the front of MLA Tracy Allard’s house on Oct. 31.

The noose was left on Allard’s lawn when 15-20 protesters showed up to voice their displeasure regarding masks and COVID-19 vaccines.

Mounties say they were called to the protest near Allard’s home at 2:50 p.m. They say officers did request the displayed noose, and a protestor did remove it without incident.

They add they investigated who may have brought the display, but were unable to identify the party responsible for bringing it and displaying it.

No charges have so far been laid from the protests last week.

The RCMP is requesting anyone who was an eyewitness to the situation or has video footage to contact them. The information could potentially be used as evidence in the investigation.

Allard said in a Facebook post on Nov. 2 that while she respects citizens’ right to protest, she urges those choosing to demonstrate to leave her family and private life alone.
