New ‘NANAIMO’ sign survives two minor graffiti attempts
NANAIMO — City crews are keeping a close eye on the latest addition to Maffeo Sutton Park.
Parks crews have actively monitored the “NANAIMO” sign since it was installed on April 29 and have twice removed writing from the face of the letters.
“City crews are in that park about four or five times a day, every time they’re there we check the sign and make sure it’s tickety-boo,” Charlotte Davis, manager of parks operations, told NanaimoNewsNOW.
Both instances involved writing from a Sharpie-style marker. While the sign doesn’t feature a specific anti-graffiti covering, its finish is designed to be able to withstand marking.
