Congratulations communities in bloom and good on Virginia and the gang for taking a stand to council when it comes to adding more trees in our community. When I drive through Edmonton, calgary, etc, even smaller centres throughout the province, what really impresses me, besides the continuous road improvments, is the commitments that these places make to tree planting initiatives along major roads. To this day I cannot understand why college drive has no trees along boulevards, nor can I understand why the definition of landscaping at the multi-plex consists of a patch of grass and a garbage can. Now while this may seem petty to some, to me these extra aesthetic improvements go a long way in promoting a healthy, beautiful city that we can take pride in. CIB should be commended for getting their voices heard and forcing actions. Hopefully this is just the beginning.
