CRED-NB is a member of Climate Action Network Canada.

CRED-NB is a member of the national SMRs Information Task force which produces bilingual monthly bulletins sent to elected officials. The topic of the October bulletin is “Boosting nuclear power is not nation-building.”

CRED-NB Champion Emma Fackenthall published an article about the Burchill Wind project near Lorneville, a significant milestone in sustainable energy development and Indigenous collaboration. It should serve as inspiration when we plan our energy future. Read it HERE.
