On February 16, 2025 at 4:26pm, the Fort St John RCMP received a mischief report at the Treaty 8 Tribal Association building on the 10200 block of 100th Avenue in Fort St John. Two swastika’s and a derogatory message was spray painted onto an exterior wall of the building sometime in the overnight hours.

The Fort St John RCMP is investigating this file as a hate crime, said Staff Sergeant, Scott Watson, Acting Detachment Commander at the time. Our frontline police officers are in the process of obtaining any available video surveillance from surrounding businesses to assist with timelines and trying to identify potential suspects.

The graffiti has since been painted over.

The Fort St John RCMP continue to investigate and are asking anyone who has information in this matter to contact the Fort St John RCMP at 250-787-8100. Should you wish to remain anonymous, please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip online at www.northernbccrimestoppers.ca.
