Fire-damaged totem pole returns to Malahat summit after restoration
Source: https://www.castanet.net/news/BC/388019 ... ion#388019First Nations officials and other dignitaries held a private ceremony to unveil the refurbished Salish Bear totem pole on Vancouver Island's Malahat summit on Thursday.
The pole had been damaged in a deliberately set fire in July 2021 in what appeared to be an act of retaliation for the toppling of a statue of Captain James Cook on Victoria’s Inner Harbour the day before.
Am glad it is back

vandalism is destructive, that also includes other historically significant statues and structures.
Those who approve of such acts are worse than the vandals themselves.

Re: Fire-damaged totem pole returns to Malahat summit after restoration
This act of vandalism was supposedly done in retaliation to another act of vandalism.
One has been corrected but not the other.
Why not?
