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.
The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo is proud to receive the WinterLife Award in 2020 presented by Municipal World from Communities in Bloom! This award recognized the efforts of staff, council appointed committees, community organizations and countless volunteers in creating initiatives that engaged the community with indoor and outdoor activities from November through March. Some of the activities included Mayor and Council’s Holly Jolly Christmas Party, Santa Claus Parade, Christmas Lights Bus Tour, Santa’s Anonymous, Craze at MacDonald Island Park on New Year’s Eve, WinterPLAY and so much more.
