"Our Communities in Bloom program focuses on community building in order to provide residents with an environment where community spirit thrives along with the social fabric of the community. Promoting responsible and respectful societal values and principles helps create healthier and safer communities in all respects which is what we strive for at Sun Rivers. The sense of belonging within the community and participation in community events has strengthened as the community has evolved and through the efforts of participating with CiB. This is what Sun Rivers is all about - building community. We are thrilled to compete in the program and host the judges each year. We look forward to showcasing the hard work we are doing at Sun Rivers and celebrate in the success of our efforts in creating a special community."
