BC Communities in Bloom is a province-wide program that provides a framework for enhancing “commUnity Liveability.” As a small not-for-profit society that is typically challenged with resources, we value our team of well seasoned volunteers to bring a wealth of knowledge and contacts to our important organization. Our strengths certainly are well rooted in our passion of helping communities celebrate their unique character. We are pleased to announce this year’s elected Board of Directors and the lo-
cations they come from: Armstrong: Shirley Fowler, Chair Qualicum Beach: Don Alberg, Vice Chair Burnaby: Heather Edwards, Past Chair Castlegar: Darlene Kalawsky Fort St. John: Edward Stanford Kamloops: Karri Loadman Langley: Ali Double, Secretary Langley: Daphne Kelly, Treasurer Nanoose Bay: Peter Crawshaw Qualicum Beach: Wendy Maurer Each of these directors has firsthand experience with the Communities in
Bloom program and it is their enthusiasm for this dynamic program that inspires them to volunteer their time. Almost all of our directors provide Judging for the organization as well. Also deserving of recognition is our additional group of judges: Armstrong: Rea Smith Clinton: Yvette May Kent/Agassiz: Georgia Kliever Qualicum Beach: George Mitchell Qualicum Beach: Lynette Twigge Maple Ridge: Lesa Petrik North Vancouver:
Trisha McCarthy Kamloops: Shirley Culver Langley: Lisa Dreves Maple Ridge: Gunther Blasig Qualicum Beach: Jeannine Oakes Richmond: Gabriala Adamov Vancouver: Jeff Foley Donating between 2500 and 4000 hours every year, this dedicated group of volunteers provides the catalyst to enhance the overall image of British Columbia by helping participants become the best, most attractive and liveable communities within our province and Canada.
