MAPLE RIDGE — Officials say the mayor of Maple Ridge has cut her public appearances following a series of online harassment.
Ted Swabey, chief administrative officer with the City of Maple Ridge, says officials recently received “credible information” about a personal threat to Mayor Nicole Read.
He says Read has “curtailed her public appearances” while RCMP investigate.
Ridge Meadows RCMP were not immediately available to comment on the case.
Swabey says the situation has been difficult for Read and her family and that the mayor is hopeful she can resume her duties soon.
He says all elected officials and staff should feel safe and be able to do their work free of harassment.
