Filming a murder or actually committing one . He told me, well, you do it like dexter. This is all modelled after dexter. When you take a step back, you realize this is a real man whos been murdered. The script was darker than anyone knew. Holy mackerel. Who are you really . Everyone was on the edge of their seat. An underground parking garage. Youre watching a violent attack caught on tape. Who is this . Whats happening . Or did it happen at all . Movies like that one are by design deceptive, make believe worlds, but have you noticed maybe its all the technical dodads, the digital cameras, the reality twisting editing. Some of the stories that claim to be true arent. Anybody can manipulate reality. Sometimes what they say is true isnt. Sometimes fiction turns out to be fact. And nen there are stories, just a few, in which fact and fiction fuse. Thats where were going tonight. A Twilight Zone world of illusion and deception and deceit.

Is going up or down, it has to do with how effective you can make your programming. The graffiti Audit Program we have come up with, we looked everywhere to see if there was anybody doing any type of Statistical Analysis on graffiti vandalism in cities and we werent able to find any so the model you will see is we worked with Mark Mckinney and management and worked as a team to see how we could view how graffiti affects the city. These audits are designed to be repeatable from year to year. We have done 3 audits to date and we have been able to effectively determine how we are doing. So whats the methodology . I dont know if you can see that map very well. That map is a map of the city of edmonton. All of the purple areas and the dark purple areas outline where the complaints were coming in, into the city over the past year. I actually should have put the 2010 map, i dont know what i was thinking, but anyway, this gives you a sense of where the graffiti complaints are. So the first cat
Just a technical point, if any of you want to ask questions, they are recording the session so they would like you to speak into the microphone and if you have any questions along the way, please feel free to ask. When did capital city clean up start . It was launched in 2005 as a Pilot Program focused on litter reduction in the downtown of edmonton. Basically businesses were asked to adopt a block in their area and were responsible for litter clean up in that area and the program had such a huge success that they expanded the program in 2006 to include a residential component for litter pickup. We now have over a thousand adopt a block captains that are responsible for adopting blocks around the city of edmonton for picking up litter and they each have crews of 4 to 5 thousand people so so we have four to five thousand people picking up litter. We link nonprofit organizations with businesses and the businesses pay the nonprofit organizations 650 per summer to have the nonprofits pick
Remained fairly consistent from the beginning of the program. Although the percentage of how much graffiti they have has gone down. What were finding, too, is that while the reduction in the graffiti over all was very minimal this year, we saw huge swings in the amount of graffiti vandalism by neighborhood. So the gardineau neighborhood in 2011 had a 77 percent decrease, we saw a 200 percent increase in the neighborhood. That is telling me these are the priority neighborhoods through this year where i have to find out whats going on in those neighborhoods in terms of what we can be doing to address the programming needs of those communities. 7 neighborhoods accounted for 59 percent of the graffiti, this is visually showing you how most of the graffiti continues for us to be concentrated in 7 specific neighborhoods. Im going to have to turn the light off again. So this map is a sample of one of the maps that was created. So the original dots reflect where the graffiti was and the intens
