Full CIB Ontario Program Communities that look successful are more likely to be successful, on many levels. People and businesses want to be associated with a successful looking community, which is particularity important with respect to potential new residents, investors, visitors, developers, realtors and others. This community capacity building program is for those who aspire to excel in the CiB Ontario program and advance to the National and International CIB Program. Registrations for Communities in Bloom Ontario are categorized according to community. During July and August, on an agreed date, two Communities in Bloom Ontario judges evaluate each participating community on the accomplishments of the whole team - municipal, private, corporate and institutional. Communities will be awarded a "trillium" rating along with a comprehensive Report.

Membership Program - This program is ideal for communities who would like a membership to enjoy all the benefits of the Communities in Bloom (CIB-O) program in a membership capacity to help in your efforts to "maintain" CIB Ontario standards with ongoing membership, continued support or network through CIB Ontario to keep up to date on current trends or practices without being evaluated.
