Turf and Groundcovers
Tree/Urban Forest Management
Natural & Cultural Heritage Preservation
Floral Displays
Community Involvement
Environmental Awareness
The City was awarded a special mention for Volunteer Effort-Conservation and Community Culture and 1st place Nationally in Community Involvement.
The Communities in Bloom is a Canada-wide non-profit organization dedicated to recognizing community projects that involve heritage, environmental awareness and beautification. We are looking forward to continuing to compete and invite all residents and business to participate by providing beautiful groomed gardens and commercial areas.
