Communities in Bloom is a Canadian non-profit organization committed to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility, beautification and to improving quality of life through community participation and the challenge of a national competition.
History: Established with the guidance of Britain in Bloom, Tidy Towns of Ireland and Villes et Villages Fleuris de France, Communities in Bloom held its first edition in 1995 and 29 participating municipalities were honoured at the first awards ceremonies on Parliament Hill. The program now includes more than 500 municipalities across the country and an international challenge involving municipalities from the United States, Japan and several European countries allows participants to compete internationally.
Program: The program consists of communities receiving information and being evaluated either provincially or nationally by a volunteer jury of professionals on the accomplishments of their entire community (municipal, private, corporate and institutional sectors, citizens) on eight key criteria: Tidiness, Environmental Awareness, Community Involvement, Natural and Cultural Heritage Conservation, Urban Forestry, Landscaped Areas, Floral Displays and Turf & Ground Cover Areas.
“People, plants and pride… growing together” is our slogan, and it captures the essence of the program.
