Peachland, B.C. legion among several businesses hit by egging spree – Okanagan [Video]

Remnants of egg yolk and broken shells cling to the windows of the Royal Canadian Legion in Peachland, B.C., following a disturbing act of vandalism.

The legion’s president, Jean Saul, expressed his dismay, saying, “It really hurts.”

Surveillance footage captured a vehicle passing by the building around midnight on Sunday, with passengers hurling eggs at the windows.

Dona-Lea Paige, operations manager at the legion, described the incident as “an act of vandalism” that “just breaks your heart.”

She says the legion’s role is supporting veterans, their families, and the community.

Shocked by the act, Saul has a message for those responsible.

“Think about what you just did. You wouldn’t have been able to do that if our soldiers, airmen, and navy hadn’t (made sacrifices,)” said Saul.

It wasn’t just the legion that suffered. According to police, at least four businesses in the area were egged that night.
