Forest Terrace Heights Community League

Graffiti in our Community Our community has been exposed to graffiti a few times on our hall and other fixtures around the area.

Do you know what to do when you see graffiti?The 3 R’s of Graffiti Removal ?

1. Record: If you find graffiti on your property, take a picture of it for police evidence and insurance purposes. Note the location, time and any other details you can recall.

2. Report: If you see vandals creating graffiti in progress, call 911. Should you find it on your own property, call the police at 423-4567. If you spot graffiti anywhere else in Edmonton, whether on public or private property, call the City at 311.

3. Remove: Under the City’s new Bylaw 14600, property owners who don’t remove graffiti within a reasonable time may be fined $250. Keep a record of your paint brand and colour so you can easily cover it up or hire a private contractor. You can also call the Graffiti

Management Program at 311 to ask about a graffiti removal kit or to sign up for a Graffiti Wipe-Out event. Ignoring graffiti makes it spread!

Another clean up issue in our community is dog defecation. Did you know that failure to remove dog defecation can result in a $100 fine?! 
Be a responsible pet owner and pick up after your dog. You wouldn’t like to see human feces on your lawn or in your community streets and parks, be responsible and remove the unwanted waste. New Bio-degradable dog waste bags are available in off-leash parks.
