On Tuesday, November 7 the City of Côte Saint-Luc will host its annual Maisons Fleuries Awards Ceremony at the Aquatic and Community Centre. I will once again serve as co-chair with Councillor Sidney Benizri.
The event recognizes the superb floral arrangements at homes, condominiums, apartments and business complexes.This year`s Maisons Fleuries Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to Harvey and Susie Schwartz, who have participated. The couple have been selected to either first or second place for the Townhouse Category every year since 2006.
“We love beautifying our outside gardens with lots of various types of flowers which enriches the outside of our home and our town house complex,” emphasized Susie Schwartz. “People passing by always comment on how lovely are garden is. Harvey works hard all summer watering and making sure that all his flowers are happy and blossoming. We feel it is important to keep our city beautiful.”
The couple are also long-time and devoted members of the city’s Volunteer Citizens on Patrol (VCOPS). District 2 resident Moshe Shlomo, a lifelong Côte Saint-Luc resident and a real estate agent for Sutton Clodem Inc., will be this year’s event sponsor. George Deligeorge, the city’s socio-cultural arts instructor, has once again agreed to create a surprise masterpiece for the ceremony. As in past years, the local art classes will display their floral art work. This will involve Mr. Deligeorge’s work, as well as the students. The display will encompass the home and flower theme.
