The Communities In Bloom provincial judges are coming to Portage la Prairie on July 28th. City councillor Brent Budz says the judges will be evaluating our community in five different categories: environmental action, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscape design, and floral displays. Budz notes council would just like to remind residents that if you do have an opportunity to spruce up your neighbourhood or your individual property before the 28th, they would definitely encourage you to do so. He adds they always get a positive response when the Communities In Bloom judges go through, so they're hoping for another great year this time around.
