Celebration for the Planet is a fundraiser designed to support N.B conservation initiatives and for you to enjoy an activity with your friends, family, colleagues and community.
This is your chance to help the Conservation Council of New Brunswick celebrate Earth Day 2019 in a unique way. The Conservation Council of New Brunswick has been at the forefront of environmental protection in New Brunswick since 1969. We depend on our members to give us the independence we need to speak out credibly and effectively on behalf of the environment and our communities.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_toggle title=”How to host an event?” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:center” custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Alegreya%20Sans%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” use_custom_heading=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1555592672324{margin-top: -30px !important;margin-bottom: -10px !important;}”]
