vancity_gmp_thumb.jpgThe City of Vancouver's Graffiti Management Program makes resources available to you to help wipe out graffiti should it appear on your building or in your neighbourhood. It also creates new avenues for graffiti writers and other artists to display their work.

 
Graffiti Management Program overview:

The graffiti by-law requires property owners to have graffiti removed within 10 days after being served a notice from the City. The by-law also includes a minimum $500 fine for anyone caught writing graffiti.
  • In partnership with ICI Paints, the City of Vancouver offers property owners a free paint kit for graffiti removal.
  • The City of Vancouver offers financial assistance to property owners for graffiti removal from heritage surfaces and repair of glass etched with acid graffiti.
  • A mural program provides new, legitimate outlets for graffiti writers and other artists to display their work. Interested property owners can choose to donate a wall for the program, and the City will facilitate the process and provide the supplies.
  • Community Paint Outs encourage community groups, businesses and residents to team up and improve the physical appearance of their neighbourhood. The City will pitch in the supplies and will help promote your event.
