Earlier this month, the Communities in Bloom judges visited Sicamous!

In preparation for the judges' visit, Sicamous Communities in Bloom chair Deb Heap lead the charge in getting our community looking its finest. Thank you to the volunteers and community members who continue to make Sicamous sparkle.

Preparing to host the Communities in Bloom judges is no small task. Outside of all the careful coordination to ensure that flower displays, landscaping and community art were in place, a detailed judges' document and itinerary were also prepared.

The Communities in Bloom judges last visited Sicamous in 2022, when our community earned the coveted five-bloom recognition. Stay tuned to learn how many blooms Sicamous achieves in 2024!
