WFCU launches beautification contest

REGIONAL — WFCU Credit Union is pleased to present its Bloom Community Beautification Contest.

As the community has faced another unprecedented year of COVID-19 challenges, the Bloom Community Beautification Contest looks to promote community pride and active participation in the community, further reinforcing that Windsor-Essex is indeed a place to be proud of.

This exciting beautification project will acknowledge both local gardeners and community businesses for the contributions they make in greening the Windsor-Essex region and inspiring others to do so as well.

“WFCU is continuously striving to do more for our members and community,” said Eddie Francis, President and CEO, WFCU Credit Union. “We make every effort to ensure the communities we serve are the best place to live and work, with opportunities like this demonstrating our commitment to that philosophy.”

The Bloom Community Beautification Contest runs from July 7th to the 30th. Interested applicants can enter online at wfcu.ca.

Photo submissions will be judged based on a set of criteria, including the contribution to neighbourhood curb appeal, maintenance and horticultural practices and environmental sustainability.

The St. Clair College Landscape and Horticulture Department will assist with the final judging.

Individuals can enter their own property or nominate someone else’s into any of the four categories. The categories include: Best Residential Property, Best Residential Planters and/or Balcony, Best Commercial Property, and Best Residential Edible Garden.
