The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB) is inviting everyone in the community to take part in the conference being held at Shell Place from September 27th to October 1st.
Communities in Bloom is a National Program committed to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility, and beautification through community involvement.

The event will also feature unique adventures, such as a guided boat tour down the Athabasca River and an informative, activity-filled land-based holistic experience at McMurray Métis Local 1935. There will also be workshops for attendees to learn how to make traditional foods, a Community Showcase and Dinner, and Awards at the Fort McMurray Golf Club, as well as the Gala Dinner and Awards ceremony at Shell Place.
