Trenton United Church says its Pride Flag and Every Child Matters Flag were “torn and broken from their moorings.”
The discovery was made Monday morning at the church entrance with the flags also found to be on the ground.
In a release on Tuesday, the church said it was “shocked and saddened” to make this discovery.
“For several years the church has been flying the Pride Flag in support of the LGBTQ+ community in Quinte West,” Rev. Isaac Mundy with the church said in a release.
“Likewise, Trenton United had been flying the Every Child Matters Flag as the congregation works to live out the calls of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to live in respectful relations with Indigenous communities.”
The church says local OPP were quick to respond to the incident and offered support.
Plans are in the works to reinstall the flags at the front of the building.
