Environmental Leadership

The City of Fredericton has established itself as an environmental leader over the past two decades through forward-thinking planning and action in areas of environmental concern.

Our new Environmental Leadership initiative identifies seven areas of environmental focus that we believe we can make a difference in. Learn more about our work in: smart energy, waste diversion, mobility, smart growth, climate change action, water and wastewater, urban forests and green spaces, and flood resiliency. 

Follow our City of Fredericton Facebook and Twitter accounts and read our Environmental Leadership Blog to stay up to date.
