by Deborah Carr,
I want to share the letter I submitted on Aug 15, 2025 to federal and provincial governments on NB Power’s gas plant proposed for Centre-Village, NB on the Chignecto Isthmus. In this time of wildfires and heat, drought and dangerous air quality, political strife and polarization, wars and genocides, it’s easy to overlook projects that do not seem to affect us directly. We’re all carrying a lot of weight these days.
But, as I point out in my letter, we are all connected and our actions have long-lasting impacts. People can enjoy watching the miracle of the shorebirds at Dorchester and Mary’s Point now because protective measures were taken long ago to secure a critical stop along the route of travel for millions of these species. They are a perfect example of how local actions matter on a global scale.
