The City of Calgary may consider lowering the fines for graffiti.
Bylaw officials say the courts have been reluctant to enforce the higher penalties since they were brought in six years ago.
Instead of $5,000 for the maximum, officials propose bringing that down to $1500.
The minimum penalty would be dropped to $500.
Alderman Ric McIver tells the Calgary Sun he would prefer to see the $5,000 maximum maintained and handed out for second and third offences.
