Graffiti Removal Program

We have a Graffiti Removal Program that is in partnership with the City of Winnipeg. The BIZ manages and trains the in-house team supplemented by the Provincial Green Team and Canada Summer Jobs employees in the busy summer months. The remaining months are done by the full-time OSVB staff. Funding support from the City of Winnipeg allows for the service to remain free of charge.

The Old St. Vital BIZ Graffiti Removal Program runs year-round, weather permitting. For urgent graffiti removal, you can report sightings to the City’s 311 service or add to our list by filling out the information below. Send a signed copy of the GRAFFITI REMOVAL SERVICE RELEASE & INDEMNITY when submitting your form.

• If graffiti is on a painted surface, the Graffiti Removal Team will attempt to colour match the painted surface and paint a small square over the graffiti. (There is a likelihood that the paint may not perfectly match the existing colour.)
• If graffiti is on a metal or unpainted surface, the Graffiti Removal Team may use a combination of removal methods including chemicals and pressure washing.
• If graffiti is on a wooden fence, the Graffiti Removal Team may attempt to colour match and paint, or pressure wash. (There is a likelihood the paint may not perfectly match the existing colour, and that pressure washing may damage the wood).
