The City of St. Catharines is proud to announce the winners of its 40th annual 2024 Trillium Awards.
The City’s annual Trillium Awards recognize property owners who create gorgeous front yard gardens and landscapes to help beautify our community. This year, a total of 15 awards were presented to St. Catharines’ residents and one organization, including Civic Beautification Awards, two per ward; a Community Choice Award selected through an online vote; and a Green Leader Award recognizing an individual or community organization for making a significant contribution to greening the community and inspiring others.
