Four large swastikas were discovered at a TMR skating rink last night.

Multiple large swastikas were carved into the ice at an outdoor skating rink in the Montreal neighbourhood of TMR last night according to a press release from B’nai Brith. The Montreal branch of the Jewish human rights organization filed a report with the police hate crime unit and conferred with Town of Mount Royal Mayor Peter Malouf about the matter.

“Rest assured that these acts of intolerance will be removed and dealt with promptly.”
