Parkland Saint John

A “Paint-a-Pot & Story Exchange” session, hosted by The University of New Brunswick Green Society, brought students and Parkland Saint John, N.B., residents together to spark creativity and promote community-driven sustainability. Participants painted plant pots and chose an herb or succulent to grow, combining hands-on engagement with nature and opportunities for conversation.

Guided prompts encouraged discussions about sustainability, resilience, and personal experiences, which helped foster meaningful intergenerational connections. The session concluded with a reflection on cultivating a more environmentally mindful community, and showed how simple shared activities can plant the seeds for lasting sustainable values.

 Our Power, Our Planet

The theme “Our Power, Our Planet” for Earth Day on April 22, celebrates the everyday actions that can help protect the environment. This year, we shared a fun Earth Day BINGO-inspired activity with residents and team members.
