this is our first year in national competition,” said Bill Granger, Manager

of Parks and Environment for the City of North Vancouver. “The judges

comments about our city were all very favourable and we gleaned some

very good ideas from the other municipalities displays and through discussion

with many elected officials, volunteers and staff from ninety-two other municipalities.” ‘Communities in Bloom’ is an

enviromental awareness and municipal beautification program which is championed by the ‘Communities in Bloom’
committee chaired by councillor Stella Jo Dean. It’s an initiative designed to involve
whole communities in the challenge of improving the visual appeal of Canadian
cities, towns and villages. This year's national Communities In Bloom Award will be
dispiayed in the foyer of City Hall beside the city’s 1998 provincial award. Dean and
