Western Tech Legal Graffiti Bathroom Project - AFTER #1

Legal Graffiti Art for the bathrooms at Western Tech - Tuesday May 27, 2008 - Video taken by the Toronto Crime SToppers School Officer AFTER the project. Principal Audely Salmon and Community CAVE's Leyla Bulcan talk in the video.

Way to go kids...!!


15 students volunteered to do the painting.

On May 26th the group met at the school to purchase the spray paint and wood supplies needed for the project.

The TDSB graffiti clean up team worked alongside the kids, http://CommunityCAVE.com and the cops to do legal graffiti.

The only thing asked of the kids wasthat the art work not be vandalized.

Graffiti artists - this applies to both the interior and exterior of the school, and the community at large..

Let's work together and produce some good quality art work with the quality supplies that you want and need to to your art work.

The goal is to get to know each other better, and stop violence and vandalism.

The police want you to take a stand against violence - report incidents to your school staff, trusted adults in the ocmmunity and the police.

If you need to remain anonymous..you can get your information in through the anonymous Crime Stoppers program in one of 3 ways:

1. Call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)
2. Click 'Submit A Tip' at http://222tips.com
3. Text TIP312 and your msg to CRIMES

We have kids being killed in our city -- There are several pleas for tips in unsolved teenaged homicides and missing teens on http://YouTube.com/1800222tips . They only way we will get to the bottom of these situations (and there are too many of them) is if we work together!

Thank you to Leyla Bulcan and Paul Aiello from http://CommunityCAVE.com for all your assistance in making this happen.

A special thank you to Monique and her new partner with the TDSB facilities management.

A special thank you to Student Trustee of the TDSB - Gerald Mak - for putting this all together.

Thank you to TDSB FAcilities management - Rick Daigle - for agreeing to cover the costs of supplies for this project. If it works out.. hopefully we can do more.

this is fucken ugly it looked better before

Why didn't you just keep what you had in there already? Or just allow kids to do it? I mean obviously the messages were not censored by the school administration. It says Revolt next to an anarchy symbol... I mean this looks like horrible. Plus if a kid went in there and did graffiti you wouldn't even notice now. I mean it looks... Horrible! How can you keep an even tone while taping this? Several takes? I'd have laughed my ass off.
