Vaughan has launched its fifth annual Curb Appeal program as part of the City’s Communities in Bloom initiative. It is designed to recognize and thank homeowners and businesses who continue to beautify and maintain their properties.
“This is a wonderful program that promotes environmental sustainability and civic pride while creating esthetically pleasing neighbourhoods,” said Regional Councillor Mario Ferri, Chair of the Communities in Bloom Beautification Committee. “I encourage all our homeowners and businesses to take up the challenge of establishing great gardens and curb appeal to beautify our City.” Curb Appeal volunteers from all sectors of the community will search the City for homes and businesses with curb appeal. Properties will be selected that showcase pride of ownership. A sign will be placed on the front lawn of selected properties and information about the Curb Appeal program will be left at the front door. The owners of the 750 properties selected as having curb appeal will be invited to a barbeque at the Boyd Conservation Area in September. “I look forward to seeing the results of residents with creative minds who are committed to our environment,” said Mayor Linda Jackson. “As a gardener myself, I am keenly aware of the work and dedication necessary to produce beautiful lawns and gardens. Our residents and businesses take great pride in their hard work.” To nominate a property or volunteer call 905-832-8577 or email parks@vaughan.ca
