Join our letter-writing campaign calling on the federal government to implement a strong and effective Clean Electricity Regulation that protects our planet, our communities, and our wallets.
We need you to amplify our call for a strong regulation—that means no extensions or loopholes for fossil fuel companies, no more burning stuff to make electricity, and financial support for people to ensure a smooth, fair and stable transition for all.
Transparency, accountability, and trust are key to a better electricity future in New Brunswick.
Find out how New Brunswick citizens are leading the way in creating a fair and sustainable energy system by adding your name in support of their roadmap for electricity affordability.
So impressed by the efficacy and impact of art to inspire climate action, CCNB now independently supports this creative community. Under the guidance of Juliana Bedoya and musician/writer/artist activist Laura Barron, artists have continued to express, through art, their ideas and feelings about climate change.
Their work is intended to inspire changes in behaviours in New Brunswick, and to offer a space for reflection on ways we might repair our relationship with nature, partly by experiencing its healing power reflected in the artwork.

We’re calling on the New Brunswick government to follow the example of neighbouring Prince Edward Island and Quebec by putting in place a strong mandate and clear targets to achieve a 100 per cent electric school bus fleet over the next few years.
Use our letter-writing tool to call on Minister Holland for an affordable, reliable, sustainable electricity system in New Brunswick and a plan to hit 80 per cent renewables by 2030.
If developers, governments, and utilities want to build renewable energy projects, they must first build a process that is fair, that citizens trust and in which they can participate and influence outcomes, particularly around siting.
That’s the topline conclusion of the Conservation Council’s year-long research into why renewable energy projects fail from public opposition despite the majority of Canadians being supportive of more wind and solar developments.
Forestry companies spray clearcut areas with herbicides to kill hardwoods and vegetation that compete with the spruce, fir and pine they grow in plantations.
The Conservation Council has long advocated that the province stop the old-fashioned, citizen-funded practice of spraying the forest. Quebec banned the spraying of its public forest more than 15 years ago. Glyphosate, the main active ingredient in most herbicides used in Crown forest operations in New Brunswick, was listed as a probable carcinogen by the World Health Organization’s cancer research agency, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in 2015.
In this webinar, learn how a lack of trust, fairness, and community benefits combined to undermine community acceptance of two wind energy projects proposed for Northern New Brunswick and receive recommendations on how to increase the chances of success for renewable energy projects.
Would you like to participate in a Citizens’ Assembly to make recommendations to federal and provincial governments and utilities on how to keep electricity affordable and eliminate energy poverty, while eliminating carbon and air pollution from the electricity system?
Watch our June 22 webinar on the benefits and challenges of electrifying New Brunswick’s school bus fleet.
This weekend, 20 years of work from scientists, environmentalists, and champion countries culminated in a United Nations agreement on a treaty to protect the high seas.
The neurologist who first raised the possibility of a mysterious neurological disease in New Brunswick is now urging the federal government to test the environment for glyphosate, suspecting the widely-used herbicide is connected to the disease cluster in the Moncton and Acadian Peninsula areas.
Our Fundy Baykeeper is questioning why the billionaire James Irving’s pulp and paper company needs a $100 million loan from the federal government to build a waste treatment facility it promised to build as part of its punishment for illegally polluting the St. John River for years.
