A historic Chinese cemetery in Oak Bay was cleaned up over the weekend after it was defaced and vandalized last week.
The twin towers of the ceremonial altar, used for burning incense and for offerings of food were tagged with spray paint.
Visitors discovered the graffiti at the national historic site in Harling Point on Monday.
Charlayne Thornton-Joe, a Victoria city councillor, said the president of the Hallmark Society and the ‘Goodbye Graffiti’ removal service stepped in to safely clean up the vandalism.
The site at Harling Point is said to be the oldest existing Chinese cemetery in Canada.
