UNB Saint John

UNB offers a university environment with a window on two dynamic cities - Fredericton and Saint John. Having two main campuses allows flexibility of place and field of study. Each campus has its individual characteristics, but admission and academic standards, degree programs and financial aid remain fully integrated.  In addition to the two main campuses, UNB offers programs in other areas of New Brunswick and Canada as well as around the world.

Atlantic Coastal Action Program (ACAP) Saint John

ACAP is a community-based, non-profit organization that encourages communication, partnership and active involvement from all sectors of the Saint John community in managing our local environment.  ACAP was formed in 1992 as one of thirteen environmental “hot spots” in Atlantic Canada.  The two primary goals of ACAP are to work with the community to improve the environmental health and integrity of the Saint John Harbour and its tributaries, and to respond to the growing demand from the community to have a more active role in environmental decision-making.

ACAP’s greatest accomplishments have resulted from our ability to form strong and meaningful partnerships within the community. Our Board of Directors includes representatives from academia, government, industry, business, other NGO’s, and citizens at large.  ACAP has conducted successful in-school environmental education programs, summer camps, ecological inventories, water quality monitoring programs, contaminated site remediation, beach and creek clean-ups, and were instrumental in helping our community achieve the $88 million dollar funding agreement to eliminate the discharge of raw sewage into our urban watercourses.  We have a solid reputation in the community for acting as a third party mediator on contentious environmental issues, and continue to expand our role as a public source of knowledge and information dissemination.
