Despite the recent vandalism the fresh paint on the new pride crosswalk near the Roy H Johnston Arena is holding strong so far and it's expected to last all summer.

The pride crosswalk received some vandalism last night but this is expected to be fixed later on.

Several volunteers including Green Party member Ralph Mclean braved the hot weather to repaint the pride crosswalk. An attempt was made last year but the paint didn't last and washed off within days.

The repainting began at 1PM on Sunday and it took volunteers about two and a half hours to finish. 

The Town of The Pas provided better paint that is expected to last longer. The pride crosswalk will act as a symbol to show that the community is very supportive of the LGBTQ community.
