Graffiti Transformation Program
The Graffiti Transformation Program is an annual community investment program administered by the Social Development Finance & Administration Division addressing youth unemployment as well as neighbourhood improvement and reviltalization issues. Youth are hired by local organizations to remove graffiti and resurface the walls with attractive murals.
Since the program's inception in 1996, over 9,000 individual tags have been removed, over 300 sites have been cleaned and 430 murals have been created. An estimated 1,276 youth have received paying work as well as training in the technical aspects of graffiti removal, outdoor art, and business skills.
