Eastend Communities In Bloom

Communities in Bloom is a national and provincial program that recognizes community involvement in initiatives related to beautification, heritage conservation, and environmental stewardship. It provides an excellent opportunity for communities to foster civic pride, encourage local participation, while gaining recognition across the province and country.

The Town of Eastend has proudly participated in Communities in Bloom since 2013, beginning in the Novice Category and then moving into the Competitive Category. Following four provincial and multiple awards, Town Council undertook a review of priorities and strategic direction, resulting in a transition to the Tourist's Takeaway Category.

This category allows judges to experience Eastend as first-time visitors, evaluating the community from a tourist's perspective while offering valuable feedback. It continues to provide a platform to promote and showcase Eastend's unique attractions, community spirit and natural assets.
