NORTH Vancouver RCMP said on Tuesday they are investigating incidents of stickers promoting white supremacy being posted in the community.

Police said that on January 27 they were made aware of several large white stickers posted on poles, fences and signs covered with English text that represents an ignorant and discriminatory ideology against ethnic diversity. These larger stickers are sometimes accompanied by a smaller, rectangular sticker with a QR code and web address. The stickers have appeared in the central Lonsdale neighbourhood and have since been removed. As such, police are investigating these incidents as a wilful promotion of hatred.

“Promoting hate propaganda has no place in our community and these ideologies are not representative of our community,” said Cpl. Mansoor Sahak, Media Relations Officer for North Vancouver RCMP. “We remain committed to ensuring North Vancouver is a safe and inclusive place for everyone.”

For the past several months investigators have exhausted all avenues to further the investigation and are now appealing to the public. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311 and quote file #2025-1856. Those who wish to provide information but want to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
