Communities In Bloom

The Municipality of Barrington in partnership with the Barrington & Area Chamber of Commerce is a member of Communities in Bloom, a national program which encourages the improvement of residential, business and industrial neighbourhoods, parks, open spaces and streetscapes through community involvement.

Communities In Bloom promotes involvement and action by citizens of all ages, the municipal government, local organizations, and businesses. The program strives to improve the tidiness, appearance and visual appeal of Canada's neighbourhoods, parks, open spaces and streets through the imaginative use of flowers, plants and trees. A focus on environmental awareness and preservation of heritage and culture is also an integral part of its success resulting in an improved quality of life.
