Take Action On:
Radon Testing & Mitigation
New Brunswick is the only province without financial support for Radon Mitigation. Radon-induced lung cancer is preventable.
Healthcare Funding
New Brunswickers need meaningful investment in preventative care, improved access to primary care, and a stabilized healthcare system.
Youth Nicotine Addiction
Health Canada loopholes allow Flavoured Nicotine Pouches to be sold and advertised to youth. Reclassify pouches as a prescription product.
Children’s Health & Healthy Transportation
Diesel emissions have negative health effects on children. Ask the government to commit to an electrified school bus fleet.
Federal Advocacy:
Smoke-Free Generation
Nicotine addiction is on the rise. Send a letter to your MP or the PM supporting a ban on the sale of tobacco and nicotine products to anyone born on or after a specific date
