The Zero Tolerance Graffiti Program was started in 2001 to remove graffiti from walls and to encourage cleaner rejuvenated street fronts to maintain and improve the value of Strathcona. SBIA has contracted Goodbye Graffiti Vancouver to remove graffiti tags from the first story of all SBIA members’ property.
Please call Goodbye Graffiti to report graffiti tags on your building. This is no extra cost for SBIA members.

For this program the City of Vancouver will contribute 40% of the cost of re-skinning or purchasing a manual retractable awning up to a maximum of $1500. The grant must be matched with a 60% contribution from the program participant. Learn more about the Great Beginnings program or contact theSBIA Office.
