As we cap off 2022 and Goodbye Graffiti’s 25th year in business, we have so much to look back on and be proud of! After an almost 3 year break, we have returned to in-person events like Buildex Vancouver, BOMA NB PEI and The Buildings Show. Our teams enjoyed connecting and learning from other industry leaders to improve our processes in order to deliver even better services to our clients.

We are proud to be a part of the communities we service and in 2022 we continued to give back through sponsorship and volunteer work. We are glad to be 2022 sponsors for this year’s Annual Real Estate Reception in Toronto and Vancouver Mural Fest.

For this year’s Vancouver Mural Fest, we enjoyed collaborating with community groups and event curators to provide an environment where local artists could showcase their talents through story telling and artwork for neighbourhood residents and community members to enjoy. We continued to work closely with local Toronto artists through the City of Toronto’s StreetARToronto program by preparing walls for murals and coating finished projects.

Goodbye Graffiti was thrilled to have our newest Graffiti Removal Technicians from across Canada return to in-person training in Vancouver this year. Led by our Corporate Trainer, Lisa Stoll, our technicians were trained on Goodbye Graffiti policies like; clean instead of paint, The Ever-Clean Program, Effective Products, Water Care, Rag & Container Disposal, Chemical Disposal and our Recycling Program. It was a successful week of bonding and team building for new and existing team members. We look forward to seeing our team grow and wish them all success moving into 2023!

Mural art is a terrific way to beautify your storefront or building to attract tourists and local foot traffic. It is an effective way for contracted artists to tell their story and deliver pieces of history to admirers. The artist can be the start of new conversations and communicate new ideas or old traditions to passersby.

In a fast-paced city, it is a way to slow down pedestrians to appreciate the details of the large artwork. Murals create a sense of community by calling its members to protect and take care of the artist’s story.

Fall is the perfect time to coat your murals to prevent any damage from the elements during the harsh Canadian winters. Chipping and peeling paint can be difficult to repair and can leave the art permanently damaged.

In addition, intentional damage to the mural can be mitigated by prompt and effective graffiti removal. Our anti-graffiti coating eases the removal process and allows the original artwork to remain untouched.

Learn more about the effectiveness of our GP1000/2000 anti-graffiti coating and how it can benefit your mural art by contacting your local GG office.

It has been a year of unprecedented challenges for the new owners of Toronto West. Despite the obstacles, the team still managed to have a record breaking sales year!
