Invitation to sign Federal E-Petition: Centre Village Renewables Integration Security Grid Project
This is grassroots activism in action! It’s politics driven by people, not power. It’s about protecting our environment, demanding accountability, and refusing to be ignored.

Presented to caucus by Saanich-Gulf Islands British Columbia MP Elizabeth May, the leader of the Green Party of Canada!! Please sign the petition and let’s get above and beyond the required 500 signatures. As this is a federal e-petition it is open to all Canadians until December18, 2025.

A bit of background: On August 12, 2025, a Facebook group called STOP the Tantramar Gas Plant! was created and as of August 22, barely 10 DAYS later, it had over 555 dedicated members! This group is a space for community members who are concerned about the proposed Tantramar Natural Gas Power Plant, and want to take action to protect our region. The plant’s location would be along Route 940, in Centre Village, NB, which is part of the Tantramar area on the Chignecto Isthmus.
The Facebook page is a space to share information, organize events, build community, and raise our voices for a future that puts people and the planet first. All are welcome to work together to keep Tantramar clean, safe, and thriving for generations to come.
Text from Kristen LeBlanc:
We stand together in opposition to the gas plant for many reasons:
*Environmental Impact – The plant threatens local ecosystems, wetlands, wells, and wildlife that are vital to our region’s natural beauty and ecological health.
*Public Health Risks – Gas infrastructure can lead to air and water pollution, impacting the well-being of nearby residents — especially children, elders, and those with existing health conditions.
*Climate Crisis – Building new fossil fuel infrastructure is a step backward. We need to invest in clean, renewable energy that ensures a sustainable future for all.
*Community Values – This project does not reflect the priorities of Tantramar residents who value clean air, rural character, and democratic decision-making.
*Better Alternatives – There are smarter, cleaner ways to meet our energy needs — ones that create jobs without compromising our environment or health.
