Blue Futures New Brunswick is a youth-centred working gathering that brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities involved in education, environmental stewardship, and New Brunswick&rsquo;s Blue sector. The event will explore the connected water system, from inland waters and watersheds to estuaries, coasts, and the ocean.&nbsp; Participants will take part in facilitated discussions to identify what youth need, share stakeholder perspectives, connect existing programs and resources, and develop practical collaboration proposals. The gathering will contribute to the first draft of the Blue Futures New Brunswick Collaboration Framework, designed to strengthen youth learning, stewardship, skills, mentorship, and pathways into the Blue sector.&nbsp; Accessibility Needs The facilitators of this event strive to create meeting spaces that are accessible and inclusive to everyone. To help facilitate this, we ask that you identify any needs (i.e. mobility issues, learning styles, etc.) we can make accommodations for to allow you to have a full and enjoyable experience.
