Meanwhile, the Conservation Council of New Brunswick and its allies, including the New Brunswick Environmental Network, are issuing a special call for participation to residents of communities on both sides of the Baie des Chaleurs, recognizing the need for greater communication and collaboration in protecting the health of this border defining and ecologically important body of water. Click here for more information on the call to action (French only).
A virtual event on the sustainable blue economy for the Baie des Chaleurs will be organized in mid-October.
If you live or work along the Baie des Chaleurs or know someone who does, consider sharing this message. Individually and collectively, let's have our voices heard as part of this public consultation and ensure the health of the Baie des Chaleurs and the many other beautiful bodies of water in this province!
