Jul 14, 2022 | 9:25 AM

The Town of Kinistino is participating in the 28th Edition of Communities in Bloom in the Class of Champions Small category and is competing against the Village of Pugwash, Nova Scotia.

The community will be rated from 1 to 5 Blooms, based on the scoring obtained. Also, they will aim to obtain Bronze, Silver or Gold levels in their 5-Bloom rating.

The Communities in Bloom judges, Lorna McIlroy from Grande Prairie AB & Linda Tomlinson from Kelowna BC will be evaluating the Town of Kinistino on July 21-22-23, 2022. The Town would like to remind all businesses and residents to tidy up their property before the judges arrive.

The National and International results will be announced in Victoria, British Columbia from October 20 to 23, during the National Symposium on Parks & Grounds and the National & International Awards celebrating “Year of the Garden”. This is sure to be a lively event as it’ll be the first in-person Symposium by CiB since 2019, following two years of virtual awards ceremonies, virtual judging consultations and virtual webinars.

Communities in Bloom is a Canadian non-profit volunteer and partnership-driven organization that uses a multi-tiered competitive evaluation process to foster community strength, involvement, and continuous improvement. This is accomplished by nurturing environmental sustainability, enhancements of green spaces, and heritage conservation in cultural and natural environments encompassing municipal, residential, commercial, and institutional spaces.
