Police in Taber, Alta., treat burning of Pride flag as an arson case
TABER, Alta. — Police in a small southern Alberta town are treating the burning of a rainbow Pride flag as an arson case.
Taber Police Chief Graham Abela says someone used fuel to light a flag pole on fire Saturday and the flames spread to the flag.
Organizers of Taber’s first Pride event plan to raise a third rainbow flag.
The first flag raised earlier this month was stolen.
