Our History

People, Plants & Pride ... Growing Together

This is what our program is all about!
National beautification initiatives have flourished in Europe for decades and it was from those successful programs that Communities in Bloom took its inspiration. Beginning in 1995 with 29 Canadian communities, the national Communities in Bloom program has grown to encompass hundreds of jurisdictions across the country with most provinces hosting regional editions.

Since 1997, over 80 BC communities have participated in the CiB program and in 2005, British Columbia Communities in Bloom became a not for profit society responsible for its funding and operations in this province.

It is our belief that the BC Communities in Bloom program complements British Columbia's world renowned wilderness beauty and that the program's continued growth and development will have a positive impact on tourism, on attracting new business development, on horticultural and other retail activity, and on general economic prosperity in all corners of our Province.
