By Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada: Police are investigating a case of vandalism after the doorstep of the Russian Community Centre in Vancouver's Kitsilano neighbourhood was defaced with blue and yellow paint on Saturday.
The community centre has been in Vancouver since 1956, located in the former Kitsilano Cinema theatre building on West 4th Avenue. Its programs include language classes, dance and music, which are accessible to anyone.
Ariadna McKenna, who is the chair of the board for the centre, said the vandalism is a waste. Her father, who is 96 years old, has been a member since the mid-1990s.
"We're not political, we're Canadian," she said as she stood in front of the defaced doors of the cultural centre. "It's shocking, it's very upsetting. The vandals that did this don't understand who we are."
