Louise Comeau talks #BetterThanNormal recovery on Turning Point series

Dr. Louise Comeau, director of our climate change and energy solutions program, spoke about the economic recovery New Brunswick needs—built around improved food security, energy security, and stronger protections for nature and water—as a panelist on the New Brunswick Business Council’s Turning Point virtual conference series on June 4.

Comeau outlined the ideas laid out in our open letter to Premier Higgs calling for a #BetterThanNormal recovery in New Brunswick in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
