Cornwall - A Community in Bloom
The City of Cornwall is now registered to participate in the Provincial competition of Communities in Bloom!
Communities in Bloom is a Canadian beautification program that provides information and education, and awards Bloom Ratings for achievement in floral displays, landscapes, turf, urban forestry, community involvement, heritage conservation, environmental awareness and tidiness.
Various organizations within our community such as the Downtown Business Improvement Area, Cornwall & Seaway Valley Tourism, Le Village, Horticultural Society, and individuals have come together to form a committee to help guide the City in its efforts to win awards in categories such as cleanliness, floral displays and community involvement. Throughout the spring and summer volunteers and City staff will work to beautify the City.
"Our committee is dedicated to improving our natural environment and beautifying the spaces in which we live and work for all who live in Cornwall," said Jim Althouse, Supervisor of Parks & Landscaping. "As we prepare for judging in the Communities in Bloom competition, we need the help of every business, every school group and every neighbour to ensure we do ourselves proud."
