Public consultations to help update Clean Water Act

October 6, 2025

FREDERICTON – The government is inviting New Brunswickers to share their ideas on how the Clean Water Act could be improved.

Industry groups, environmental organizations, First Nations and the public can all take part in shaping new legislation that matches the needs and values of their communities.

“Our government is committed to ensuring New Brunswick waters remain clean, now and for future generations,” said Environment and Climate Change Minister Gilles LePage. “We want to hear a variety of perspectives to ensure the updated legislation has a lasting positive impact for all New Brunswickers.”

A consultation webpage offers background information, an overview of the review process and instructions on how to participate virtually or in person.

Written submissions will be accepted until Nov. 27. People will also have a chance to learn more and share feedback through in-person and virtual consultation sessions.
