We work hard to ensure a strong environmental voice is heard in New Brunswick’s print, radio and television media. Last year, our staff appeared in the media more than 50 times to shed light on ongoing environmental issues and success in New Brunswick. Here are some of the biggest stories Conservation Council staff have been called upon for expertise, analysis and commentary this year:
Dec. 16, 2025 | When the New Brunswick and federal governments agreed to a “one project, one review” approach to environmental impact assessments, the media turned to us for analysis. Our executive director, Beverly Gingras, raised concerns that streamlining reviews could come at a real cost to environmental protection. She pointed out that federal assessments are far more thorough than New Brunswick’s, especially when it comes to climate impacts, and that only a small number of projects in the province ever receive a full review. Rolling these systems together risks weakening oversight instead of strengthening it. Bev also flagged that the province already lacks the resources needed to properly assess major projects. That said, she noted the agreement could be a step in the right direction, if it brings more expertise, capacity and scrutiny into New Brunswick’s environmental review process.
