Communities in Bloom (CiB) is a national Canadian non-profit, volunteer-based program that promotes "people, plants and pride" in which cities across Canada enter the competition and are awarded "Bloom Ratings."
Cities are evaluated on floral displays, landscapes, turf and ground covers, urban forestry, community involvement, heritage conservation, environmental awareness and tidiness. This organization is committed to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility and beautification through community participation and the challenge of competition.
The Trail Community in Bloom (CiB) committee is the catalyst for making the City of Trail esthetically pleasing for residents and visitors and keeping the city involved in the national Communities in Bloom program. The committee is chaired by Dan Rodlie and the floral program is overseen by Rachael Brown. However, accolades go to the volunteers and citizens of the city. It is not what the CiB committee does that brings attention and awards, it is what the city - as a whole – does to show off its collective civic pride and community spirit.
Keeping residential and business properties, streets and boulevards neat and tidy; making strides in environmental improvements, and honouring our historical past, are all parts of the CiB package that keep our 5-bloom rating possible.
With funding from the City of Trail, Teck Metals Ltd., Home Hardware, Columbia Power Corporation and other corporate and individual sponsors, the CiB Committee plans and undertakes work to enhance the beauty of our city. The committee works hand-in-hand with the Mayor, Council, City staff and volunteers to make Trail a better place to live, work and play. Some of the accomplishments and ongoing projects of the CiB committee are as follows:
