ENNIS IS PARTAKING in the 29th edition of ‘Communities in Bloom’.

For the international challenge, Ennis will be in the international challenge medium category alongside Brooks Regional, Alberta, Canada, and Monfalcone, Italy. The community will be rated from 1 to 5 ‘Blooms’, based on the scoring obtained. Ennis will also aim to obtain Bronze, Silver, or Gold levels in its 5-Bloom rating.

Judges Berta Briggs from Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Canada, and Dr Andrea Bocsi from Dunaujvaros Fejér, Hungary, will be evaluating Ennis Town from July 23rd to 25th. Ennis Municipal District is reminding all businesses and residents to please tidy up their property in preparation for the arrival of the judges.

National and international results will be announced in Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo, Alberta, Canada, from September 27th to October 1st during the National Symposium on Parks & Grounds and the National & International Awards celebrating ‘Northern Blooms’.

Communities in Bloom is a Canadian non-profit volunteer and partnership-driven organisation 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.

Its vision is to inspire all communities to enhance the quality of life and our environment through people and plants to create community pride. “Growing Great Places Together” is their slogan, and it captures the essence of the program.
