Our beautiful National Historic Site, the Reader Rock Garden was hit by vandals recently.  The memorial plaque that was installed in 1944 to honour Mr. Reader’s efforts and celebrate the park being named after him, welcomed visitors to the garden for decades.  However, with COVID-19 physical distancing measures curtailing attendance at the park, vandals took advantage of  the ideal quiet time on-site for their nonsensical mischief.  The plaque was ripped off the rock cairn at the entrance at the base of the hill.  We were hoping that this historical plaque would be located elsewhere at the garden during Spring clean-up.  But no such luck … so, … we are asking you to take a good look at the photo below.  If you know of its whereabouts, we would be very grateful to have it returned and restored to its rightful, honourable place at the garden.   Furthermore, we appeal to the public to remain vigilant and report “questionable behaviour” when visiting Reader Rock Garden.  This historic site belongs to all of us and we must be stewards for its preservation for  future enjoyment.  Please help us keep the Garden safe!
