Graffiti Trial Update, MLA BBQ, Democracy Dogs
A jurisdictional scan of other municipalities done by The Owl shows that they do not differentiate between permanent and non permanent graffiti mediums. Of course there is no way to scan for how many graffiti tickets were issued for chalk.

Under this law, chalk is legally the same as spray paint. The bylaw also doesn't mention sidewalks. But spray paint on a sidewalk is clearly graffiti. So if chalking a building is graffiti, then chalking a sidewalk is also graffiti. Every hopscotch grid. Every "you are loved" message. All of it. Illegal.
