BELLE-BAIE – Nearly 200 community-based projects across the province are sharing $9.7 million from the Environmental Trust Fund.

The 196 initiatives have a range of goals, from protecting the environment and managing waste to addressing climate change.

“Individually and collectively, these projects will help protect, preserve and enhance our province’s natural environment for the long term,” said Environment and Climate Change Minister Gilles LePage. “Our government is firmly committed to continuing to invest in innovative approaches that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make New Brunswick more resilient.”

Since its inception in 1990, the Environmental Trust Fund has supported community-based initiatives that focus on several priority areas: environmental protection, raising environmental awareness, waste management, addressing climate change and building sustainable communities.

More information, including a list of approved projects and initiatives, is available on the Environmental Trust Fund website.
