Communities in Bloom
”Values:
Integrity – Respect – Collaboration – Excellence – Accountability
Vision:
To inspire all communities to enhance the quality of life and our environment through people and plants in order to create community pride.
Mission:
We are a volunteer and partnership-driven organization that uses a multi-tiered competitive evaluation process to foster community strength, involvement and continuous improvement. This is accomplished by nurturing environmental sustainability, enhancements of green spaces, and heritage conservation, in cultural and natural environments encompassing municipal, residential, commercial, and institutional spaces.
“Bringing Communities to Life” is our slogan, and it captures the essence of the program.
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 hundreds of communities across the country and an international challenge involving communities from the United States, Asia and several European countries allows participants to compete internationally.”
