This summer, we (the Sustainability Interns) went on a tour around Fredericton, where we learned about various places, located on the North and South side of the Saint John River practice sustainability. Several experts and fellow interns shared how sustainability plays an important role in the production and transportation of their products. 

 To truly experience Fredericton, the capital of New Brunswick, we highly recommend that you explore how its community integrates sustainability within its various attractions by checking out the following spots.
