New Brunswick Municipal Opportunity

QUEST is recruiting 12 more New Brunswick municipalities looking to better their energy emissions futures!

New Brunswick / Nouveau-Brunswick // QUEST Canada invites 12 more small and mid-sized municipalities across New Brunswick to join the Atlantic Net-zero Communities Accelerator (NCA) program to create or update their Community Energy and Emissions Plans (CEEPs).

Eligible applicants include local governments – Indigenous, municipal, regional or a group of small municipalities/bands – or others applying on behalf of a local government or a group of local governments (e.g. a local energy distributor or not-for-profit organization). 

Why participate?

• Communities directly and indirectly account for 51% of GHG emissions.

• For every % of reduction in community energy use, more dollars are kept in the local economy

• With a CEEP in hand, your community will have a clear, actionable GHG Reduction Plan that will:
  

  • Identify practical actions to save energy and money;

  • Strengthen your community’s resilience to extreme changes in the climate;

  • Position your municipality to access funding for climate and energy projects;

  • Build capacity to integrate climate priorities into land use planning and infrastructure, and,

  • Signal to residents, businesses, and investors that your community is forward-thinking and taking action.
