Melfort Communities in Bloom claim two outstanding achievement awards
Melfort Communities in Bloom (CIB) continues to be recognized for the work it does in the city.
The 2020 Communities in Bloom awards were distributed virtually last week with the Melfort group being declared winners of two of the 11 outstanding achievement awards.
One was in recognition of the land reclamation for the south side sports courts according to Peggy George with Melfort CIB.
“It’s about taking land that is unusable as it is, environmentally not safe for a lot of things,” George said. “That land used to be the home for an auto-body shop so the soil needed to be cleaned and tested to make it safe but you can put stuff on top, like sport courts.”
