Communities in Bloom
Communities in Bloom is about flourishing communities. CiB includes a national competition to foster civic pride, local beauty and environmental responsibility.
Municipalities are evaluated on 6 criteria:
- Tidiness
- Environmental Action
- Natural & Cultural Heritage Conservation
- Urban Forestry
- Landscapes
- Floral Displays
Community Involvement is woven into all these criteria – from the public sector, commercial / institutional sector, to community groups and residents.
