"If people could put out a flowerpot, it makes everything a little bit more cheerful. It is Communities in Bloom, they do promote flowers, as part of it. But the focus that I see is the tidiness aspect. Painting a fence, or washing your windows can contribute to making everything look very neat and tidy, and show how we care about our properties."  - Director of Community Services Diane Burt-Stuckey

Toni Lucas - Judging for Pincher Creek's bid in the Communities In Bloom International Challenge will take place July 16. Town of Pincher Creek Director of Community Services Diane Burt-Stuckey said, "It's an honour to even be involved in the program at this level, and making the community a better place to live is really what it's all about." Pincher Creek won at the national level (2009), and the Class of Champions (2015) against other Canadian communities at the same category of size. The first international challenge the town competed in was in 2016 where Pincher Creek won Honourable Mention. "I was completely floored. It was very encouraging."
