The Flame of Hope that sits outside of the Banting House National Historic Site in London, Ont., and isn't supposed to be extinguished until a cure for diabetes is found, was destroyed by vandals over the weekend. I took a quick look, you could see someone had stuffed debris into the bowl that holds the flame. Last night the Flame of Hope was vandalized. The museum has a small travelling flame it uses for events and Maltman has plugged that in inside the museum. The Flame of Hope is to be extinguished once a cure for diabetes is found.
