Campaign Materials

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Poster​​s and​ a​r​​​twork

Downloadable posters and social media images from Metro Vancouver campaigns are available for use.

Artwork supporting these initiatives are intended for posting and distribution by local governments.

Non-government agencies are required to use the Metro Vancouver logo and tagline, unaltered, with our free campaign artwork.​​

Adult Toilet Training

Flushing disposable wipes causes major issues for our wastewater system, including clogs, overflows and damaged equipment. This campaign asks residents to dispose of wipes in the garbage, not the toilet, even if the package says they are flushable. ​

Reducing soaps and detergents

Soaps, detergents and personal care products can’t always be removed when wastewater is treated. They can end up in our environment where they are harmful to fish and other aquatic life. This communications initiative lets residents know that because of our region’s soft water, they can use less of these products, go easier on the environment and still get good cleaning results.​

Microfibres reduction — Our Ocean Thanks You

Microfibres from our laundry are one of the largest sources of microplastics pollution in the ocean. Every year, in Canada and the United States, our household laundry sends about 878 tonnes of microfibres — the equivalent weight of ten blue whales — into our rivers, lakes and oceans. By simply washing in cold, we can reduce the number of microfibres that are shed from our laundry and improve the health of our oceans.

Wipe it, Green Bi​​n it

Fats, oils and grease in sewers is an ongoing issue in the region and can lead to clogged pipes and sewer overflows into homes, businesses and the environment. Metro Vancouver's "Wipe It, Green Bin It" campaign asks residents to put small amounts of grease in their green bins, instead of down their sinks.​

Reducing excess water in the sewer system (inflow and infiltration)

Extra groundwater and rainwater in the sewer system – known as “inflow and infiltration”— can lead to sewer overflows into homes, businesses and the environment. This communications initiative helps residents understand how water leaking into the pipes on their property can overload the sewer system and contribute to sewer overflows.
