Listowel District Secondary School is the latest to have it's Pride Flag vandalized in the province.

The school tweeted the flag was torn down Sunday night. The tweet says video footage of the incident was captured and an investigation is underway. They vow to reinstall the flag as soon as possible.

The Upper Grand District School Board also reported similar incidents at three of its schools.

And last month someone threw paint all over the Pride crosswalk in Ingersoll.

A 16-year-old in Norwich is facing theft charges for removing flags there.

?️‍? We are disappointed to report that our Pride Flag was torn from our flag pole last night. Video footage was captured and an investigation is underway. We will be re-installing the flag as soon as possible. @yourschools ?️‍?
