Communities in Bloom judges arrive in Castlegar on Monday

The Communities in Bloom judges will be coming to Castlegar next week. Castlegar and Trail are both past champions and are competing at the national level against two other communities.

Kalawsky says there are a number of criteria besides floral displays.

Judging starts in Castlegar on Monday and goes til Wednesday. The results will be announced in September.
