The Anti-Graffiti Paint Program encourages you to help the City of Prince Albert reduce graffiti vandalism by reporting it, recording it and removing it. If you're a home, business and private facility owner, you can apply for one free paint kit. This allows you to paint over graffiti on the outside of your private property.
Program availability
Program is available for as long as weather permits. We do not approve any applications if temperatures are regularly less than 0 degrees Celsius.
