Fall décor and Halloween the focus with Streetscapes expansion

Clean, Green, Beautiful North Bay’s Streetscapes initiative is expanding into Fall.
After the summer program saw over 170 nominations, officials are now looking to showcase properties with festive fall or Halloween-themed décor.
Until midnight on Oct. 31, homeowners and business owners are invited to submit photographs showcasing their properties.
Contest Categories include:
- Fall Vibes: Celebrate the essence of autumn with décor featuring leaves, pumpkins, gourds, harvest elements, scarecrows, and other seasonal touches
- Halloween Spirit: Showcase spooky, eerie, or playful Halloween displays
- Seasonal Storefronts: Open to businesses and organizations, featuring either fall-themed or Halloween-inspired decorations
Nominations can be submitted online, with the winners to be announced in November.
CGB North Bay says the initiative aims to foster community spirit, encourage creativity, and celebrate the beauty of the season.
