People, Plants and Pride Growing Together
Wood Buffalo Communities in Bloom is the local chapter of the national Communities in Bloom program. Communities in Bloom is a Canadian non-for-profit organization committed to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility and beautification through community involvement and the challenge of a national competition, with a focus of enhancing green spaces in communities.
More than just flowers
Expert, specially trained, volunteer judges travel across Canada during the summer months to evaluate municipalities on six key criteria:
- floral displays
- landscaped areas
- heritage conservation
- tidiness
- environmental action
- urban forestry
Nominate your neighbour
Nominate your neighbour to recognize them for their outstanding efforts to brighten our community! The program runs twice per year:
- Summer program (landscapes and floral displays)
July 15 to August 31 - Winter program (holiday displays and decorations)
November 15 to December 15
