You may see these signs in your neighbourhood, along roadsides, or near parks and trails.

🤳A resident recently snapped this photo and noted something important - the area where the sign is installed has remained CLEAN since it went up, demonstrating that this approach is helping deter trashy behaviour.

These signs are part of a broader campaign. While they aren't a standalone solution, they play an important role in increasing awareness, starting conversations, and encouraging residents to take action.

The City’s Municipal Law Enforcement Officers conduct regular patrols and thoroughly investigate public reports. Each investigation is taken seriously, involving comprehensive steps such as site inspections, evidence gathering, witness interviews, preparing charges, court proceedings, and more. This rigorous process ensures that when charges are laid, they hold up.
