Over the years, the Graffiti Grannies have saved Trail taxpayers thousands of dollars by cleaning up areas that have been vandalized with spray-paint. Public works manager Larry Abenante says individuals and groups have “adopted ” a staircase or tunnel, which has helped the city deal with the problem. But he reminds the public to report sightings to city hall or public works at 250.364.0840. All reports are kept confidential. On Wednesday, Abenante met with Ev Cross (right) and Carol Ferro at the river wall while the women covered markings near the Canada flag.
