‘A consistent pattern': Regina Rowing Club dealing with reoccurring vandalism of property
On Saturday, a number of windows were broken at the finish line tower on Pine Island. Workers and volunteers installed plexiglass shortly on those broken windows but then noticed a second incident Tuesday night.
Three more windows were broken, with a few large rocks left inside. The outline of a foot was also left on one of the windows, indicating that another one could have been broken as well.
'I've been involved with the community high club since the early 90s,' said Dave Robertson, who is the vice commodore of the Regina Racing and Canoe Club. 'And I know every once in a while, there might be an incident, but there's just been a consistent pattern of several incidents that have been happening over the last few weeks.'
The area has also had a few star towers, which are metal structures that are markers during races - pushed into the water. Additionally, a car was stolen last Wednesday.
'It's surprising, and it's also really disheartening,' said Robertson. 'We operate as a volunteer organization. During a one-off incident, you kind of can plan for and expect. But when you have a series of instances where you come in, do the repair, and clean it up, and then only to have that damage redone a couple of days later. It is very taxing on the volunteers.'
It is an unfortunate time for vandalisms to occur, with the season now opening for the club. Saturday will see the Saskatchewan team trials for the Canada Summer Games.
Regina police said that officers have been canvassing the area for any video that may be available, but that no suspects have been found at this point in time.
