The trucks are packed and ready to roll!

With support from FeedNB and many school partners, our universal breakfast program is set to welcome students back to school, so every child starts the year fed, supported and ready to learn.

Do you know how to identify cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)?

These organisms are bacteria and not algae at all! While not all are harmful, some can produce toxins which is why it’s important to check the water and scan the shoreline before engaging in recreational water activities.

Every child deserves a distraction-free learning environment that supports their well-being, and that includes balancing how devices and screens fit into their day.

➡️ For K-8 students: starting this fall, cell phones and personal devices won't be permitted during the school day. Devices must stay silent and put away all day, including breaks, free periods, and lunch.

➡️ For grades 9-12: the same restrictions take effect but only at the start of the second semester, in February.

➡️ For early learning and childcare centres: no screen time for infants. Preschool and school-age children are limited to no more than 30 minutes a day, if offered.

These changes support healthy habits and protect instructional time. Exceptions remain in place for documented medical, accessibility, translation, or accommodation needs.

This summer, we've been investing in water and sewer infrastructure to help build more homes across New Brunswick.

➡️ Expanded water and sewer infrastructure in Campbellton, Grand Falls, and Edmundston will support new housing in these communities.

➡️ In Fredericton, new services along Doak Road will open 44 hectares of land for new single-family homes, townhouses, and apartments.

➡️ And in Moncton, upgrades on Elmwood Drive, including sewer, stormwater, a wider road, and a new trail, will help pave the way for new homes.

These projects are made possible through partnerships with local municipalities and the federal government. Better infrastructure means more communities can grow and more New Brunswickers can find a place to call home.

New tariffs bring more uncertainty, but New Brunswickers know how to respond together.

Buying local supports our workers, our businesses, and our future.

Now more than ever, let's choose New Brunswick!

Make the right call. Whether it’s an emergency, a road update, community support, or health advice, there’s a number for every situation:

• 911 – Urgent emergencies
• 511 – Road information
• 211 – Community and government supports
• 811 – Non-emergency health guidance

Save this post so these numbers are always one tap away when you need them.

New Brunswick is becoming a serious player in defence and cybersecurity. Fredericton-based cybersecurity company Lastwall has secured a major equity investment, backed in part by the New Brunswick Innovation Foundation in its largest-ever single investment in a NB company.

Lastwall builds identity security technology used in defence systems, government networks and critical infrastructure and this investment will support their continued growth.

Every time you leave the water, remember to clean, drain and dry your watercraft and equipment. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes a real difference in keeping invasive species from spreading to a new body of water.

Remember, what you do when you leave the water matters for our lakes, rivers and wetlands.
