You can share your ideas with the New Brunswick government as they prepare to update the Clean Air Act.

The act has been in place since 1997, and the government wants to modernize it with current scientific standards and technology. They also want to strengthen “rules that protect outdoor air quality for communities across New Brunswick,” according to a government website.

The province says it wants to hear from industry professionals, environmental experts and advocates, First Nations and the general public.

The province has an online consultation page with background information on the act, including the different sections under review, along with details about how to get involved.
