A flourishing collaboration
This project was made possible through the collaboration of the City, the local provincial regional resiliency committee, EOS Eco-Energy, Horizon Health Network, Vitalité Health Network, the New Brunswick Public Library Service, and the Greater Moncton and Southeastern New Brunswick United Way.
Funding comes from the economic benefits generated by the City’s Tree Bylaw, which allows Dieppe to reinvest in concrete, sustainable initiatives like this one.
