The New Brunswick Environmental Network (NBEN) is hosting a peaceful protest this weekend in Moncton to advocate for green energy and address climate change impacts in the province.
Moncton Marches
On December 14, 2024, the Moncton community is invited to unite for the Moncton Climate Crisis March, commencing at Bore Park at 3:00 pm, and culminating with a gathering of speakers in front of Moncton City Hall. This march is not just a communal event; it’s designed to mobilize the community to express concerns and demand proactive measures against the looming threats of climate change, particularly in the Atlantic provinces.
The Purpose of the March
According to the NBEN, the recent transition to new provincial leadership highlights the need for community voices to be heard. The march is designed to urge local municipalities and the broader New Brunswick region to lead in green energy initiatives. In recent years, climate change has emerged as a global crisis, with headlines underscoring its significant economic and personal impacts. This march serves as a vital platform to bring these issues to the forefront of policy discussions, providing the community an opportunity to move from mere observers to active participants in addressing these challenges.
