Where do you draw the line?
The presence of graffiti has a widespread negative impact on any community. In 2009 a group of municipal partners formed the Waterloo Region Anti-Graffiti Alliance to brainstorm ways to combat graffiti. It became clear that a coordinated and collaborative approach would be the best way to develop an anti-graffiti strategy.
Four areas were identified where to focus efforts:
Prevention & Enforcement - Develop deterrance initiatives and consistent by-law regulations
Community Engagement - Engage people in activites to prevent and reduce graffiti
Public Awareness & Education - Raise awareness within communities about the impact of graffiti
Public Art - Develop public art projects in identified areas of the region as a way to deter graffiti
