PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. – The City of Prince Albert is helping residents interested in immediately removing graffiti from their property.

The term graffiti applies to any drawing, inscription or writing that disfigures or defaces any building, fence or structure.

The city says the most effective way to prevent graffiti from recurring is to remove it within one to two days.

Each applicant will have a maximum of 30 days to complete the job. After that time a follow-up inspection will be done.
