Positive chalk graffiti returns to Regina's Wascana Park
In 2012, 'You are loved' chalk messages deemed graffiti and removed
"You deserve happiness and love." That's one of the messages written in chalk in Regina's Wascana Park this morning.
Here is what CBC's Dean Gutheil found on Monday:
It's probably deemed graffiti in Wascana Park but at least the message is positive. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/cbcsk?src=hash">#cbcsk</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Wascanacentreauthority?src=hash">#Wascanacentreauthority</a> <a href="http://t.co/0Q14jFrwvF">pic.twitter.com/0Q14jFrwvF</a>

—@cbcDGutheilIn an email to CBC, a Wascana Centre Authority spokesperson said: "While they are usually positive, if they haven't been approved or part of an event, they are considered graffiti and removed."
In 2012, similar messages were written in the park, but they were soon washed away by the park authority.
