Communities In Bloom is a
Canadian beautification and environmental awareness program that provides
information and education in order to instill civic pride and community
appreciation of our surroundings.
The local Communities in Bloom
Committee meets regularly throughout the year to ensure that the City
continues to develop appropriate strategies in the eight areas that
are judged during the national competition, including: heritage
conservation, tidiness, urban forestry, turf and ground cover, community
involvement, environmental effort, floral displays and landscaped areas.
The municipality's efforts are documented in the 2006
National Communities in Bloom submission which is provided to the
judges when they arrive in Pembroke. This year the judges arrived
in Pembroke on August 9th during Communities in Bloom Week, as declared
by Mayor Jacyno.
In 2004 the City was awarded
5 Blooms and an honourable mention for Heritage Conservation and the
Champlain Trail Museum. At the local Awards Ceremony, the efforts
of the community were recognized, and 5 Bloom certificates were given
to over 120 residents and business owners. The Golden Spade Award
is awarded annually by the Committee to the business that most exemplifies
the principals of Communities in Bloom.
The local committee is made
up entirely of VOLUNTEERS, and if you would like to be part of this
exciting program, please contact the City of Pembroke at 735-6821 x
1510.
