How does graffiti vandalism<br />

affect individuals, communities<br />

and the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Calgary</strong>?<br />

<strong>Graffiti</strong> vandalism is more than<br />

just words or symbols sprayed.<br />

<strong>Graffiti</strong> without permission is<br />

an act <strong>of</strong> vandalism that costs<br />

millions <strong>of</strong> dollars to remove, or<br />

cover, every year.<br />

If not immediately removed, graffiti<br />

vandalism sends out a message<br />

that “nobody cares” about the<br />

area. This creates an open invitation<br />

for other graffiti. It may also<br />

lead to an increase in other crimes<br />

and/or acts <strong>of</strong> violence.<br />

What is <strong>Graffiti</strong> Vandalism?<br />

<strong>Graffiti</strong> vandalism is figures, letters, drawings or stickers applied, scribbled, scratched, etched,<br />

sprayed or attached on or to the surface <strong>of</strong> any premises, structure, or other property without<br />

permission. <strong>Graffiti</strong> vandalism is a crime and carries serious consequences.<br />
