2012 COMMUNITIES IN BLOOM - Register Now!

Each year over 30 British Columbian communities use this dynamic program to influence positive results by enhancing their visual appeal and environmental practices of streetscapes, neighbourhoods and greenspaces while strengthening civic pride.

Participants collaborate with citizens, local government, business and service clubs to focus on specific evaluation criteria. These local CiB action groups contribute thousands of dollars worth of volunteer time and in-kind donations to many meaningful projects that celebrate the unique characteristics of their hometown. Over ½ million British Columbian residents benefit from the impact of these improvement initiatives every year.

We invite your community: large or small, to find out why civic pride motivates and rewards communities that are ‘in Bloom’! Go to www.BCcommunitiesinbloom.ca for more information.

People and businesses want to be associated with a successful looking community.  It is also true that citizens want environmental integrity in their green spaces and respect for the geographical and regional heritage of their area.  Achieving such integrity requires good horticultural practices and a visible valuing of the community's heritage sends a reassuring message that the area honours its past thereby increasing its desirability as a destination for visitors, investment and most importantly residents.
