A British Columbia neighbourhood has rallied around its LGBTQ community members and filled its streets with rainbows after the town mistakenly took down a Pride flag last week.

Lisa Ebenal lives in Aldergrove near Langley, B.C., a small town east of Vancouver. She says she displayed the original flag on her property as a way to celebrate Pride Month.

I mean, like everyone else I have friends and family that are part of the LGBTQ community, she told HuffPost. So I thought that would be a nice way to show my support as an ally.

She draped the flag over a sign on her property with the neighbourhoods name on it. But the next day, the flag went missing. Ebenal says she assumed some kids had pulled it down, so she promptly bought another one and hung it in its place. That one went missing as well.
