Millet has participated in Communities in Bloom since the program started in 1996. Under the direction of Mrs. Bernice Knight (dubbed 'the Flower Lady'), the Town bloomed into the Prettiest Town in Alberta. Mrs. Knight became the representative for Communities in Bloom in 2000 to assist other communities in becoming participants of the Communities in Bloom Program.

Mrs. Carol Sadoroszney then became the Chairperson for Millet in Bloom and, with a lot of help from volunteers, businesses, residents and employees, Millet was dubbed the Prettiest Town in Canada after winning the 2001 Nationals!

Millet has competed internationally with Waringstown, Northern Ireland and Audley, England. In 2005, Millet decided to compete at the Provincial level as it is Alberta's Centennial and Millet's 10th year as a participant in the Communities in Bloom Program.

Millet in Bloom Logo

The logo of Daisies was selected through the Town Flower Contest in 2000. Residents were asked to submit their choice of flower and from this the Daisy was selected. It is easy to stylize, draw, reproduce on promotional items, or put on light post banners. In old English it means "Days Eye" (the sun).
