The issues regarding a wave of vandalism at the Civic Centre parking lot has now reached city council chambers.
There have been various reports noted on social media and elsewhere of vehicle windows being smashed in the parking lot, with stories of players finding their cars vandalized and items stolen while they were inside during games.
Councillor Kelli Hawtin raised the issue at council Monday. Director of Leisure Services Bill Samborski confirmed they were aware of the issues, and have been in contact with the authorities about it.
He encourages anyone experiencing issues to contact the RCMP but also contact them as well, noting there is video surveillance at the Civic Centre.
As well, he suggests players could park on the south side parking lot as opposed to the north side, as the south has better lighting that could discourage that activity.
"We are aware, and working for ways to try and mitigate it," said Samborski.
