Anti-Graffiti program returns Wednesday

Apr 15, 2025 | 11:24 AM

Starting Wednesday, Prince Albert residents and business owners can apply to city hall to receive assistance removing unwanted graffiti.

Dubbed by the city as the “new and improved” Anti-Graffiti program, it provides property owners with new options to better suit their removal needs. And through people reporting and recording, the city can more accurately track where the occurrences are.

A big change introduced last year was homeowners, business owners, and privately owned facilities could apply to the city for assistance, whereas in the past, it was solely up to the residents to make the trip to city hall and retrieve a paint kit.

The change was geared towards helping seniors and work requiring assistance will be capped at $100.

Residents are reminded any painting and/or graffiti removal under the program can only be undertaken on your own personal property. Residents are not permitted to remove graffiti on a neighboring property, public bench, community facility, utility company amenity, or any other area or property not owned by the applicant.

Renters of property are reminded that the owner of the property must be the one to apply for the program, and all applicants may be required to provide proof of property ownership like a tax receipt.

The program is available for as long as weather permits. Applications received when temperatures are consistently less than 0 Celsius will not be considered.

The City of Prince Albert is also reminding residents the program does not cover costs that haven’t been pre-approved by the application process, and any costs incurred above and beyond the services offered on the application will be the responsibility of the applicant. The Anti-Graffiti Program is not retroactive.
