About Us

​Here at Connecting Albert County, we celebrate the beauty of rural Albert County — the people, projects and places we love, as well as the challenges we face as a rural community.

​We explore the ways residents work together to create a more healthy and vibrant Albert County. We hope these stories will lead people to adopt practices that improve their personal health and the health of our community and environment. We hope the articles will also encourage readers support the community through their buying power, volunteer energy and positive outlook, which in turn helps the whole region thrive.

Connecting Albert County acknowledges that the land on which we operate is the traditional unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Wabanaki People and is covered by the Covenant Chain of Sacred Peace and Friendship Treaties signed between 1725 and 1779. These treaties have been affirmed and are protected by Section 35 of the Canada Constitution. We honour the spirit of our ancestors’ Treaties of Peace and Friendship and extend our appreciation for the opportunity to live, work, gather, write about, document, and honour their territory.
