協助卡城華人社區服務中心塗鴉清潔活動2017
卡城華人社區服務中心於2017年6月24日進行了塗鴉清潔活動，為加拿大成立150周年國慶添彩。卡加利華埠獅子會亦積極回應與協助，當天一共有16名義工一同合力把壁畫成功回復原本的面貌。
卡城華人社區服務中心在過去於唐人街建立了不少壁畫，就是希望減少塗鴉的出現及美化唐人街。是次清潔活動地點是銀龍酒家旁邊後巷位置的壁畫。自從安放了壁畫後，塗鴉的情況已大量減少，但今年遭到破壞。今次經過大家的努力，壁畫已回復了原來面貌，卡城華人社區服務中心感謝各界的支持。
參與這次有由卡城社區服務中心主辦的“塗鴉清潔活動”之團體及義工包括有: Jim Wong from Calgary Chinese Community Service Society (CCCSS) 及 ACCESS (Alliance of Calgary Community Ethnic Support Society). 華埠商業振興區, 新近成立的卡城華埠青獅會 Calgary Chinatown Leo Club; Derek Leo 及 Rachel MAK , 卡城華人社區服務中心義工; 廖邦豪, 劉湘柔, Dam He, Aileen Kwok, Thomas Leung一家, Jacky Liu, Andrea Wong, Derek Yu, Jenny Yuan跟她的小朋友等，各人均付出百分百之熱心，將塗鴉洗得一乾二淨，讓美人眼目的壁畫，再次重現昔日之風彩。卡城華人社區服務中心再次感謝各界支持。
所有沒經同意出現在公共或私人財產上的文字﹑數字﹑字母﹑圖案或貼紙均屬於塗鴉，這個行為是違法的。塗鴉帶來許多不良影響，例如衛生問題﹑破壞市容，甚至是與黑社會及犯罪有關的符號等。我們希望如果您看到有塗鴉的清況出現，請撥打311或者把塗鴉拍下來，上存到網站或手機程式Calgary 311舉報。
