Investment supports creation of an Atlantic UNESCO Tourism Corridor led by the Fundy Biosphere Region

February 19, 2026 · Joggins, Nova Scotia · Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA)

Canadian tourism had a record-breaking year in 2025, with Atlantic Canada emerging as one of the country’s strongest performing regions. The sector is creating jobs, driving innovation, and powering economic growth across the region, and the Government of Canada is building on this momentum by investing in initiatives that strengthen and connect Atlantic Canada’s world-class attractions.

Today, Alana Hirtle, Member of Parliament for Cumberland – Colchester, announced a federal investment to establish the Atlantic Canada UNESCO Tourism Corridor ($309,500). The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada and Minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.

Environmental Rights Caucus Extremely Disappointed with Government

The Environmental Rights Caucus of the New Brunswick Environmental Network wishes to thank all those who supported this project and who know that the right to a healthy environment is crucial to our very survival.

We are obviously very disappointed and frankly somewhat astonished that the Legislators of New Brunswick have chosen to refuse to enshrine the Right to A Healthy Environment into Law. This refusal to work to adopt this legislation in a form that would guarantee that all current and future generations can count on them to act in a way that maintains a livable and safe environment, calls their priorities into question.

Bill 23: An Act Respecting the Right to a Healthy Environment may not become law at this time, but the failure to act to guarantee this right now, will not make the problem go away. The citizens of New Brunswick expect better from their Legislators. For more than 20 years a small group of New Brunswick citizens worked tirelessly to get this law passed. Young people now understand what is at stake, for them and their children. They will carry on, and eventually a law like this one will pass.

We therefore have every hope that in the near future, the right to a healthy environment will be acknowledged and legalized.

The Southeast Regional Service Commission (SERSC), together with the Village of Fundy Albert, invites local Dreamers, Champions, and community groups to help shape the future of a major regional trail initiative—and to explore how Fundy Albert can become a cornerstone of a Southeast New Brunswick Trail Towns network.

Fundy Albert already has a proud and diverse recreational community, built over many years by residents, volunteers, and local organizations. Our trails, viewpoints, and outdoor spaces exist because community members created them, cared for them, and shared them. Any future growth can only succeed if it continues in that same spirit—driven by local voices, local priorities, and local knowledge.

My War on Wild Parsnip

2/8/2024

In full bloom. Notice the multiple flower clusters.

By James Wilson

For a number of years I have been engaged in a losing struggle against a weed: wild parsnip. Originally brought to North America for its edible root, it long ago escaped containment and began to travel. I’ve seen it growing happily along roads and streams throughout Fundy Albert. A good portion now occupies the lawns and fields around my house. Growing to a height of six feet and producing several clusters of small yellow flowers, it isn’t exactly unattractive but it is everywhere.
