Another noose found on Toronto job site, this time at Crosstown LRT station
By On-Site Staff
Health & SafetyThe Toronto Police Service is investigating after another noose was found on a Toronto construction site July 28.
Uncovered at an Eglinton Crosstown LRT site, the noose is the fifth found in the past two months at four separate job sites across the city.
Caroline Mulroney, Ontario’s Minister of Transportation said she spoke to the CEO of Metrolinx after learning of the incident and that police have again called in the hate crime unit to investigate. Metrolinx is overseeing the light rail megaproject, with the Crosslinx Transit Solutions P3 team in charge of work on the ground.

Premier Doug Ford also commented on the issue.
“We will get to the bottom of this despicable act of hatred,” he said in a Tweet. “This will never be tolerated here in Ontario and when we find who did this, there will be consequences.”
The previous instances have also drawn quick condemnations from the construction industry and beyond. In Montreal, where a similar incident occurred in June, Lafarge fired the employee responsible.
Despite the ongoing investigations in Toronto, no arrest have been made as of July 28, according to CBC News, which first reported the most recent incident.
