ETF 2025/26 Advancing Climate, Freshwater, and Ocean Literacy Through Community Engagements

For almost 30 years, ACAP Saint John has been a leader in environmental stewardship throughout the Greater Saint John area, conducting successful community-based environmental initiatives that have engaged thousands of citizens and organisations over the years. Through funding from the New Brunswick Environmental Trust Fund, ACAP Saint John’s ‘Advancing Climate, Freshwater, and Ocean Literacy Through Community Engagement’ project has been able to mobilise over 900 people through our engagement and educational events, conduct multiple cleanup drives to remove refuse and debris from our waterways by engaging 94 volunteers, and reach 20,000 unique users through our digital outreach campaigns to build awareness and education on climate change adaptation, stormwater, water quality, and ocean conservation and biodiversity.

ACAP Saint John expanded environmental awareness and education initiatives to residents of all ages and demographics, including decision makers, city staff, developers, community members, and students. These ambitious initiatives have advanced environmental awareness and action in the region and will continue to protect our environment by improving our watercourses, wildlife habitat and urban green spaces.
