Green Party Leader to tour low carbon buildings in Moncton

Fredericton – On Friday, January 13th, David Coon, leader of the Green Party of New Brunswick and MLA for Fredericton South will travel to Moncton to visit buildings that have been constructed to have small carbon footprints.

“Both the provincial and federal governments have new strategies to drive the transition to a low carbon economy by attacking energy waste and adopting renewable technologies. We have very talented people in New Brunswick working in these rapidly growing sectors of our economy. I’m familiar with the Fredericton-based companies, so I am excited to visit and tour some of the buildings that Moncton firms have designed and built.”

Coon will also tour the New Brunswick Community College’s Alternate Energy Systems Lab while in Moncton.

The tours will occur at the following times and locations:
– 10:30 – Residential, 9 Generation Ave
– 3:00 – NBCC Moncton Alternate Energy Systems Lab, 1234 Mountain Rd
