An investigation is ongoing after a flag reading "Free Palestine Economic Sanctions" appeared high on the front of the B.C. legislature on Thursday morning.

A breach or unauthorized entry of the building is not suspected. Authorities have not said whether it is known how exactly the banner was placed so high on the building, other than that it was "external."

“An external security breach took place overnight (August 13-14, 2025) at the Parliament Buildings," said an emailed statement from the Office of the Clerk. "The matter is being taken very seriously, and a full investigation is underway.”

The Victoria Police Department is investigating in addition to an internal inquiry. Black Press Media has reached out to the police department for more information.
