“Nominate Your Neighbour’s Fabulous Front Yard!

Front yards with curb appeal don’t just increase property values – they enrich our neighbourhoods. That’s why Prince George Communities in Bloom (CIB) is asking the public to help recognize those who create and care for attractive front yards (or business frontages), by nominating friends, neighbours and businesses through a fun Front Yard Recognition Program.

Not a competition, the goal is to let those thoughtful gardeners know that their efforts are appreciated – as well as encourage others to follow suit. Nominating a neighbour, a business - or even yourself - is easy. Simply print the Nomination Form, fill it out by hand and submit the completed Nomination Form to the Service Centre at City Hall. Nomination Form available at www.city.pg.bc.ca.  If you don’t have a printer, Nomination Forms are available at City Hall’s Main Service Centre. Those who nominate a neighour will be given a given a cheerful CIB Front Yard Recognition sign to present to their neighbour to display. Now’s the time to say ‘Thanks’ to your favourite neighbourhood green thumb! “

I like this. I’m going to pay attention to house and business-fronts I like and add a few nominations myself. It really does make a difference when people care about making their neighbourhood look presentable.
