and have some change left over! This year's raffle fundraiser for BC Communities in Bloom is a Cash Raffle. That means for a $10 ticket you have a chance of winning $2000, $1000 or $500. That will buy a lot of seeds!
More information here. Communities in Bloom is a complex, multi-faceted program, and each new year is an opportunity to share why communities should consider participating. From the obvious horticultural beautification, to the civic pride that results from a hometown that looks clean and tidy, the benefits are countless!
The CiB program connects people to their municipality, creating an opportunity for volunteer engagement in addition to profile for groups already making a difference (like the one pictured). Using the evaluated program to highlight all that is unique in the community and developing a benchmark measurement for areas of improvement, helps the community measure their successes. Want to know more? Our provincial organization consists of a program coordinator and regional board members and judges who are willing to help you learn about the CiB program. Whether it is a phone chat or a presentation to your city council, contact us today. Program Registration Deadline: March 31. March 31 is the application deadline for this year's evaluated program.
