Have your say on a water protection strategy for NB!

In 2016, the provincial government announced it would develop a water strategy that would update New Brunswick’s outdated way of protecting water. The draft, A Water Protection Strategy for New Brunswick 2018-2028, has now been released, and the deadline for comments is November 20, 2017. 

It is up to us to ensure decision makers are aware that a comprehensive water strategy with strong legislation and effective implementation and enforcement, is a priority for New Brunswickers.

Have your say now! We’ve made it easy for you.

We’ve written a letter calling for what we believe should be in a strong water protection strategy based on our research. You can add your own comments to the letter, or simply sign and send it to support strong water protection in New Brunswick. Submit your comments now (it only takes 30 seconds)!

How did we write our letter? We studied water protection best practices from across Canada to help all of us prepare for the comment round in the government’s development of a water protection strategy for New Brunswick. Based on that review and the Conservation Council’s own 45+ years of water policy and scientific expertise, we have created a free toolkit to help citizens and supporting groups comment on the draft water protection strategy.

The water strategy won’t be implemented to its fullest potential without the public support it needs to truly make it a priority for decision makers. We have the know-how to modernize our water laws, we just need the will to make sure they are the strongest and the most protective they can be!
