Village of Rockyford council and administration are looking at ways to stop ongoing vandalism of the washrooms at the Lions Campground and are awaiting quotes to install security cameras on the facility’s exterior.
Over the summer months the Lions Campground washrooms have been targeted by graffiti vandalism, and during the regular Thursday, September 14 council meeting it was discussed ways to resolve this issue.
“We have had a run of graffiti on the walls, so council discussed how to deter or catch the culprit,” explains Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Lori Miller.
She notes she will be looking to get quotes on camera equipment, which will be installed on the exterior of the building. This will help capture images of anyone accessing the building, and when, to help deter misconduct and misbehaviour.
“We have found cameras to be very effective on other municipal buildings,” she adds.
Over the summer the Rockyford Lions Campground hosted some 200 members of Cubs and Scouts Canada for the Cub-o-Rama in June, and was also filled with visitors for the Bull-O-Rama and Rockyford Pro Rodeo weekends in June and July.
