Wayne and Gail Himpe of Repromap Ltd. apply an anti graffiti wrap on a traffic light control box at the corner of First Street Northwest and Second Avenue Northwest, last week.

The initiative was inspired by city councillor Kathy Bellemare after she encountered a similar initiative on a trip to British Columbia.

The wraps have graphics centred on Dauphin themes such as Indigenous heritage, agriculture, the environment and arts and culture, created by local graphic artist Jeanne Brenner.

Six switch boxes have been wrapped in the downtown core of the community with the blessing of Manitoba Highways, which owns the equipment, as phase one at a cost of around $8,000.
