We work hard to promote a positive image for Strathcona. Our Clean Streets Initiative helps maintain and improve Strathcona by removing litter from the streets and lanes which encourages cleaner and rejuvenated street fronts. Through partnerships with social enterprises like Coast Foundation and United We Can, we have provided over 2000 hours of street & lane micro cleaning. The Clean Buildings Initiative & Mural Program target graffiti. In the past 6 years we have been able to facilitate the removal of over 9000 graffiti tags. Murals not only help tell a story and beautify the area but are also a proven deterrent for graffiti. The SBIA has invested in nine murals. Ongoing projects with the City of Vancouver helps provide new benches and bus shelters, and improvements to sidewalks
