Awards
Trillium Awards
The Ancaster Trillium Awards program promotes community pride by recognizing residents who, by landscaping and maintaining their property, contribute to a more attractive community.
Each year volunteer judges from the Society choose 125 of the most beautiful nominated front properties for an award.
2024 Diamond Award Winner
We are proud to announce our winner of the Diamond Trillium Award for 2024, Maria Ingrosso. The Diamond Trillium Award is given for 15 years of award-winning front gardens.
Twenty-four Ruby (10 yr) and Gold (5 yr) winners were also presented. Among the 100 continuing winners were many thrilled first-time winners.
Congratulations to all of our winners!
