Members of an Edmonton Ethiopian group are disheartened after an apparent vandal smashed windows at their community centre and defaced their sign. The Ethiopian Canadian Community Association, 10585 115 St., has been damaged twice in the past month, the association’s Meheret Worku said. On Aug. 2, members of the community arrived and found multiple windows broken, including on the front door. “We’ve been there since 1987 and we’ve never experienced anything like this.”Worku said there are around 7,000 Ethiopian Canadians living in Edmonton. “The reason we say this is an attack on our community is because why would anybody spray just the (Ethiopian) flag?” she asked.
