Community Betterment

We're proud to work with community groups and organizations on initiatives that prioritize beautification and environmental sustainability in our Town. 

Communities in Bloom

Our Communities in Bloom Committee organizes the Communities in Bloom Judges' Tour, a national program involving hundreds of municipalities showcasing their community's natural beauty. Judging criteria includes: 

• Community Appearance
• Environmental Action
• Heritage Conservation
• Tree Management
• Landscape
• Plant and Floral Displays

Yellow Fish Road

Have you seen yellow fish painted on some of Kingsville’s storm drains? This is part of the Yellow Fish Road Program, an initiative that teaches people the importance of keeping our water clean and protecting the environment. The program, run by Trout Unlimited Canada, involves painting yellow fish by storm drains and handing out brochures to remind people not to pollute. Things we throw away or use on driveways can end up in rivers and harm animals in the water.

Harmful materials include pesticides and fertilizer, motor oil, litter, soap from washing your car on the driveway, and even animal waste! Most municipalities don't treat this water before it reaches the river, which is why the Yellow Fish Road program is so important. It helps us learn about our impact on the water and how we can make a difference.

Kingsville Horticultural Society

Many of Kingsville's gardens are planted and maintained with the Kingsville Horticultural Society. When you see gardeners tending to flower beds at Town Hall, Lakeside Park, and other public properties across Town, chances are, it's one of these committed Horticultural Society volunteers. We appreciate everything they do to keep our Town bright and beautiful.
