Toronto, ON – Toronto Police are investigating another case of antisemitic graffiti found at Birchmount Park Collegiate Institute (BPCI) in Scarborough.
Police Chief James Ramer says police were notified about the incident on Thursday, and the Hate Crimes Unit is investigating.
Toronto Police say officers were first called to a school in the Danforth Avenue and Kingston Road area around 10 a.m., where anti-Semitic vandalism was observed on school grounds.
Toronto District School Board (TDSB) spokesperson Ryan Bird tells CityNews it happened at Birchmount Park Collegiate Institute.
“This hateful act of vandalism is very similar to recent incidents that occurred last week at other schools and that police are currently investigating,” the TDSB said in a statement.
“While there is currently no indication that students are responsible for these incidents, the TDSB has been taking a number of steps to address antisemitism and hate including the recently released Combatting Hate and Racism Student Learning Strategy and additional professional learning, both of which will include specific lessons on antisemitism.”
