Outreach & Education

Renewables NB: Creating a renewable energy hub for our province.

Falls Brook Centre has established a Renewable Energy Information and Assistance Centre for North-West New Brunswick. We are working with the Conservation Council of New Brunswick and Cape Jourmain Nature Centre  to provide Renewable Energy support services across the province including:

1. Information on technologies;
2. Information on applications in NB;
3. Advice on adopting renewables in the home, small business or on the farm; and
4. Case studies of installations, residential and commercial, to create a information 'hub'

If you have installed a renewable energy system in your home or business, or are interested in doing so, please contact Greg LeBlanc for more information:  greg@fallsbrookcentre.ca, (506) 375-4310

Light bulbs, Shower heads, and beyond: Building skills for net-zero housing and communities.

FBC is offering a series of workshops and presentations that provide solutions and facilitate action towards net-zero strategies for the average householder. Working with local actors the workshops will include an evaluation of the latest technologies, discuss potential obstacles as well as address the need for an energy-conscious life-style shift.

Additional Professional Skill Building will provide hands-on workshops for trade professionals in renewable energy technologies and Sustainable Community Design.
