Residents who contribute to beautifying their community will be recognized in this summer’s Nominate Your Neighbour Program.

Wood Buffalo Communities In Bloom (CIB) is now accepting nominations from people across the region.

Nominate Your Neighbour highlights homes and businesses with outstanding front yards and storefront floral displays.

In a release, CIB mapped out six categories.

  1. Floral Displays
  2. Landscaped Areas
  3. Heritage Conservation
  4. Tidiness
  5. Environmental Action
  6. Urban Forestry

 

The deadline to submit entries is Aug. 15, 2022, while the judging takes place on Aug. 22-23.

In 2020, the RMWB received the WinterLife Award presented by Municipal World from the national Communities In Bloom program.

“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.”

Notable winter-themed events in the region include the Mayor and Council’s Holly Jolly Christmas Party, Santa Claus Parade, Santa’s Anonymous, Craze at MacDonald Island Park on New Year’s Eve, and WinterPLAY.
