Okotoks Pride crosswalk vandalized days ahead of celebrations

For the second year in a row the Pride crosswalk in Okotoks has been vandalized

The Okotoks Pride crosswalk is being cleaned by the Town after vandalism was discovered early on the morning of May 30.

The Town of Okotoks could not comment on the exact time the incident happened or what was depicted in the vandalism, which left the crosswalk coated in blue spray paint. 

The Okotoks Pride crosswalk, established in June of 2021, is located at the intersection of Elizabeth Street and Elk Avenue in Olde Towne Okotoks.

It was given a fresh coat of paint earlier this month.

The incident happened ahead of 2024 Pride Foothills Wide celebrations commencing on Sunday, June 2.

The Pride crosswalk previously experienced vandalism in 2023.
