Communities in Bloom is a volunteer based, Canadian non-profit organization, committed to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility, beautification and to improving quality of life through community participation and the opportunity to participate in a national program.

If you would like to become involved with Strathmore Communities In Bloom, please contact Chairman Rob Pirie at [email protected] for more information.

We are excited to start planning for 2016 projects: the 9th phase of Strathmore's Birth Forest in Green Meadow, new Community Gardens located at Hope Community Covenant Church at Brent Boulevard, and other community initiatives!
