(Lion's Park fountain as been a frequent target of vandals this summer)
Fort Frances Mayor Roy Avis is expressing disappointment over a rash of vandalism that has struck town parks this summer.
Avis says vandals are only targeting the hard work of people who helped create the parks and force the town to exhaust resources on the clean-up.
"What happens in those cases people who should be doing other things in town like maintaining cemeteries, parks and the waterfront, they're tied up doing that kind of repair," says Avis. "So what happens is the other assets suffer because we don't have the manpower to do that work."
Avis is hoping someone will come forward with information that will lead to arrests and charges.
