Your Voice Can Shape the North End’s Future

If you live, work, or spend time in Saint John’s North End, the City wants to hear from you. You have a direct opportunity to influence the future of your community by attending one of two open houses for the North End Neighbourhood Plan.

These drop-in events are your chance to meet the city’s planning team and their consultants, Fotenn Consulting. They want to hear your ideas, concerns, and vision for making the North End a more vibrant and inclusive place for everyone. The feedback gathered will directly inform a new plan for the area’s development.
