Halton Regional Police are looking for information from the public after a skipping rope tied in the shape of a noose was re- portedly found at a George- town school. The incident was re- ported just before 10 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 8 at Ethel Gardiner Public School. Det.-Sgt. Ellie Bale said in a release that police re- ceived a call from an indi- vidual who reported that while walking their dog that morning, they had lo- cated a pink skipping rope tied into the shape of a noose, "hanging from a tree" on school grounds. The individual indicat- ed that they removed the skipping rope from the tree and threw it in the garbage, and did not take any photos of the skipping rope before disposing of it, Bale said. The complainant also indicated they had seen the skipping rope laying around school property for at least a week prior to lo- cating it in the tree. Officers attended the scene and did not locate any associated items or hate speech written or posted on the grounds of the school or in the area. But, there is an "ongoing investigation" and police are looking for more infor- mation, Bale said. The hangman's noose is a symbol connected to lynching and has been widely seen as a symbol of hate for the Black commu- nity. Anyone with informa- tion can call police at 905- 825-4747 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
