Kensington Police Investigate Anti-Black Slur on Confederation Trail Footbridge

The Kensington Police Department is investigating a suspected hate-motivated offense after an anti-Black slur was found on a footbridge near the Confederation Trail in central Prince Edward Island. The incident was reported to the police by the Royal Canadian Legion after a walker noticed the graffiti on a wooden bridge connecting a legion park to the trail. The graffiti is believed to have been added within the last few weeks, and police are seeking footage from video surveillance cameras and asking people with doorbell cameras to check for possible evidence. Constable James Gotell stated that the footbridge leads to a park where the Royal Canadian Legion maintains a war memorial, and that other graffiti in the area may have been done by the same person. The police are dedicating significant resources to the investigation and are urging anyone with information to come forward.
