Every year, at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), the Wallaceburg BIA membership discusses new projects to make downtown Wallaceburg a beautiful place to work, shop, and visit. A clean environment, a walkable streetscape, and engaging architecture can all contribute to beauty. The recent rejuvenation of the Glasstown Brewery Company property is a great example of this. We must continue to work as businesses and a community to create an inviting atmosphere for all.
One way that the BIA has always tried to create atmosphere downtown is through the creation of attractive gardens. The downtown Wallaceburg BIA has spent a substantial amount of funds improving the gardens and planters in downtown Wallaceburg. We funded the installation of new gardens at the bell in the Cecile Bechard Civic Park, on the corner of Wellington St. and Nelson St., and along Wellington St. in parking lot D. We care about our town, and we want it to look amazing all year round.
The Downtown Wallaceburg BIA has partnered with Debbie, owner of Tacq’s Garden Market to supply the amazing flowers every year for our hanging baskets and the concrete planters downtown. Deb has also been a key vendor in our Farmer’s Market since the beginning of that project. Wilford Landscaping has also worked with us to design, plant, and maintain many of the gardens throughout the downtown core, including the three listed above.
