ETF to Support French Fort Cove Development Commission

FREDERICTON (CNB) – The Environmental Trust Fund (ETF) is contributing $20,000 to the French Fort Cove Development Commission in Miramichi.

Acting Minister of the Environment and Local Government Dale Graham made the announcement today.
“The Environmental Trust Fund is a great tool that supports community-based initiatives to restore, protect and improve air, land and water resources, and to promote green ideas to make communities a better place,” Graham said.

“As a recipient, the French Fort Cove Development Commission will enhance its planned Eco-Centre program by offering students and the general public guided nature tours of French Fort Cove.”

Revenue for the ETF is derived from about half of the environmental fee paid on redeemable beverage containers.
