Q.Lakeshore Advance
It will be a bright purple and red summer in
IAunbton Shores as Communities in Bloom (CIB)
take the 2011 theme to the ultimate blooms.
Communities in Bloom is a non-profit
Canadian organization committed to fostering
civic pride, environmental responsibility and
beautification through community participation
and the challenge of a friendly competition.
This group of volunteers promotes involve-
ment and action by citizens of all ages, the
municipal government, local organizations and
businesses. The program strives to improve the
tidiness, appearance and visual appeal of
Canada's neighbourhoods, parks, open spaces
and streets through the imaginative use of
flowers, plants and trees.
In a delegation with council, Grace Dekker and
Catherine Minielly said CIB is a focus on
environmental awareness and preservation of
heritage and culture is also an integral part of its
success resulting in an improved quality of life.
This year, Lambton Shores has registered to
participate in the National edition of the
program, and will be participating with commu-
nities of a similar size throughout Canada.
The National edition of CIB includes six
evaluation categories: Tidiness, Environmental
Action, Heritage Conservation, Urban Forestry,
Landscape and Floral Displays.
Further, each category is evaluated by four
sectors: municipal, business & institutions, resi-
dential and community involvement.
"In the CII program, success is largely meas-
ured based on the judges' community evaluation
and comments. However, in Lambton Shores, a
truer measure of success is through the commu-
nity's ability to collaborate and support the pro-
gram. Communities in Bloom in Lambton Shores
has been instrumental in bringing Lambton
Shores communities together to work towards a
common goal; the first successful program of its
kind in our amalgamated community," says
Minielly.
The Lakeshore Advance will keep you updated
as CIB events are scheduled.
