Communities in Bloom says thanks
July 28, 2016 · 0 Comments
To the Orangeville community:
Thank you for your support of the work of the Communities in Bloom Committee.
The judges’ visit was successful, thanks to the preparation and support of the town staff — Lori Szarmes, Sheila Duncan, Ray Osmond , Kevin Barry and staff.
Presentations (which were taped by Rogers TV) highlighted Public Works, Parks & Recreation, Heritage Orangeville, Credit Valley Conservation, and Headwaters Communities in Action.
Thanks to The County of Dufferin for profiling their properties in town and to the Orangeville Sustainability Action Team and Gary Skinn for profiling their work. Thanks to the Orangeville BIA for showcasing the highlights on Broadway.
Highlights of the visit included Island Lake and especially the Headwater Health Care Centre’s Friendship Gardens.
The Orangeville Horticultural Society is to be commended for their work on the many gardens in Town… Helping to make Orangeville Bloom.
The support and enthusiasm of the media, business community, service clubs and citizens were evidence of a Community in Bloom.
We are looking forward to hearing the results of the judging to be announced September 17 at the provincial Communities in Bloom conference in Stratford. We know Orangeville is a winner. We anticipate they will have discovered that as well.
