The Torrington at Bedford entry sign and area super mail boxes, and bedrock outcrops were also targets. In fact, the “art” was so similar that it must be the same offenders. Please include us in the restorative justice impact statement process. We have cleaned up the entry sign already, but are hoping for the young people who are responsible to tackle the rest of their tags. I’m sure this has brought much shame upon their families. Thanks to HRM police for their quick response.

that art. is respectable, im saying this to the previous comment. yes it is against the law to do it and yes i proudly do it and good enough at it to be respected at doing it. i know not to do it on personal property, but there is a time when you sit back and if its a good piece, to simply look. art isnt always the monilisa or a portrait of the bay. i do it at skateparks but now its hard to do that because people complain about the graffiti on the back of a building.we just need spots that support it, and less of it will go in the areas less wanted. but, old people complain about skateboarding on side walks and the town puts up skatepark, people (wont say kids) will still go out on the side walks to skateboard.
