RCMP investigating ‘white supremacist’ graffiti in Brooks

Dec 9, 2025 | 8:40 AM

The Brooks RCMP is asking for help in finding whoever was responsible for a series of hate-motivated crimes.

Officers say there have been nine recent occurrences of “white supremacist/anti-immigrant” graffiti being sprayed on City of Brooks-owned infrastructure.

The incidents were reported to the City between Oct. 1 and Nov. 26, 2025.

The graffiti has been spotted in the areas of Uplands, the median of Cassels Road, the bathroom at Lake Stafford Park, the bathroom at Duke of Sutherland Park, and on the back of a street sign on Sutherland Drive.

“Suspect(s) are spray painting various comments, including hateful terms and messages, around the city,” reads a news release from the Brooks RCMP. “As well, the City of Brooks has reported that stickers/decals promoting the White Lives Matter movement are being placed all over the city, usually on traffic signs.”
