Official title: Centre Village Renewables Integration and Grid Security Project Public Notice Participant Funding Available
A new electricity generation facility is proposed near Sackville, New Brunswick. The federal government is offering funding to help Indigenous peoples and the public participate in the environmental assessment. You can get reimbursed for costs like travel or hiring experts to review the project.
Why This Matters
