Student Resource Views in the City What do City of Edmonton bylaws say about graff iti vandalism Graffiti vandalism is regulated by the Community Standards Bylaw. Graffiti vandalism includes any words, notes, symbols, slogans or drawings placed on a wall or other public or private surface that does not follow the “community standards” set by the City. Many municipal governments believe that the idea of rapid removal, or the cleanup of graffiti vandalism quickly – usually within 24 to 48 hours – is the most effective way to discourage graffiti. It also keeps neighbourhoods clean! If graffiti vandalism is not removed, it can lead to more acts of graffiti vandalism and create an environment in which crime can thrive. It also sends the wrong message that it’s okay to put graffiti vandalism on your property. Graffiti vandalism is a criminal offence when placed on public or private property without the owner’s consent. Private property owners are required to remove graffiti vandalism from their property within a reasonable amount of time. Langford sues over ‘graffiti wave’ Times Colonist (Victoria) September 7, 2008 A Langford man and his parents are being sued by the city over a spree of graffiti, in what may be the first time in Canada a municipality has sued to recover graffiti damages. The City of Langford, along with Cedric Steele Realty Ltd. and Pacific Coast Flooring Inc., are suing the man, his mother and father over what the suit calls a “graffiti wave.” The statement of claim, filed last week in Victoria in the B.C. Supreme Court, claims the man drew graffiti throughout the municipality from Sept. 1, 2006, to March 1, 2008, with damage costs to the plaintiffs exceeding $25 000. But the mother of the Langford man said in a telephone interview her son was convicted of nine counts of vandalism over his graffiti in April. She said he was fined $350, which he paid with money earned washing dishes, and ordered to perform 40 hours of community service work, which he completed.

Student Resource Views in the City The City of Edmonton’s Graffiti Management Programs are part of Capital City Clean Up. This local government program builds partnerships with property owners, businesses, community organizations and individuals to work to reduce graffiti vandalism. Should it be everyone’s responsibility to deal with graffiti What ideas does this news article give you about the ways that individuals and groups of people can take responsibility for their communities McCauley teens wipe out graffiti By Joelle Tomek, EXAMINER STAFF June 10, 2009 A piece of Edmonton’s inner city has a new look thanks to 14 buckets of paint and two McCauley junior high classes. On Tuesday, students painted over graffiti at about 10 sites in Little Italy and Chinatown. The graffiti removal project is part of a school program led by the Hope Foundation of Alberta, a University of Alberta research centre committed to the study and enhancement of hope. The foundation works with students on hope-related projects throughout Edmonton’s inner city. “The best part was knowing that I was helping out my community,” says Grade 9 student Ty Friesen. Classmate Moe Mohammad says graffiti removal shows the rest of the city “the McCauley community is better than this.” Mayor Stephen Mandel spoke to the Grades 8 and 9 students the day before the graffiti removal project, suggesting the city create a space for legal graffiti art in the inner city, while working with the community to curb vandalism. Grade 9 student Jamie Moore likes the idea. Excerpted with permission from QMI Agency. “People (could) actually show off their artwork instead of getting it painted over.” Make A Better City 137
