Steinbach RCMP have been made aware that for the last two weekends, unknown person(s) have been knocking over some of the Gifts of Light trees surrounding the hospital and stealing the lights.
Police would like to remind those that are involved that those trees and lights are being sponsored by individuals and businesses in order to raise money to support healthcare services in the area which they or their family may need to access someday. The trees also brighten the lives of those that unfortunately will not be able to spend Christmas with family and friends due to being in the hospital.
RCMP remind suspects to perhaps, take a moment to sit down, enjoy the Gifts of Light trees and leave them intact for others to enjoy.
