1.0 BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
The Municipality of Clarington is being asked to participate in the CNE
Garden Show for 2007. Clarington's participation in the municipal display
category resulted in a first place finish in 2006.
The CNE offers an honorarium of $4.00 per square foot. The displays are
750 square feet giving participating municipalities $3,200.00 to help cover
the costs of materials. After the show, the plant material is recovered and
reused to enhance garden beds in various municipal parks.
Municipal staff is willing to enter again but will seek out community
partners to assist. As the Gold Award Winner, Clarington will also be able
to feature a community display which is being considered by Marketing
and Tourism and Operations.
If Council is in agreement, staff will confirm its participation for 2007 and
will continue to work with our partners on developing a display.
