The pair has been travelling two
weeks, visiting Big Valley and
Rycroft, AB, where the sun is still
shining at 11:30 p.m., and Britle,
MB, before coming to Blyth, the
most southerly village on their tour.
After a week off they will visit
Brigus and Grand Bruit, NF, and
Maitland, NS.
Though often viewed as a bloom
competition, the judges said that is
just a small portion of what they
consider.
Anderson said the program truly
is about a community blooming, not
just flowers.
The judges look at the social and
health impact participation has had
on community pride. They evaluate
municipal, private, corporate and
industrial sites for tidiness, urban
forestry, landscaping, floral arrange
ments, turf areas, environmental
effort, heritage conservation and
community involvement.
Anderson said heritage has been
one of the growth areas in the pro
gram since it went national five
years ago.
“Canada isn’t very old, but when
communities preserve and make'use
of buildings (features) that are 80 or
100 years old, that is really some
thing.”
With the judging in Blyth com
pleted, the committee will now
await the announcement of national
winners at the awards ceremony in
Edmonton, AB, Sept. 28-30.
Falls Reserve Conservation will
be the site of the 9th annual Car,
