BACKGROUND:
Each year during the Canadian National Exhibition, municipalities from across
the province are invited to participate in the Annual Garden Show held in
Heritage Court at the Ricoh Coliseum.
The participating municipalities are provided with 750 sq ft. of garden space and
are asked to build something that fits the selected theme. Last year the
Municipality of Clarington participated in the program and received recognition for
their entry of "Ring Around the Rosie". This year's theme is "Pick a Feature From
Your Community".
The Canadian National Exhibition reimburses the Municipality $3,200 to offset
any costs in preparing the festive garden. The only other cost to the Municipality
is labour and equipment which can be funded under the existing current budget.
If Council is in agreement, staff will continue to work on developing the theme
and will confirm its participation for 2005.
