Municipalities across New Brunswick are advancing important work on climate action, energy transition, and building resilient local infrastructure. As part of this effort, many communities are exploring opportunities to electrify municipal vehicle fleets as a pathway to reduce emissions, lower long-term operating costs, and modernize public infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n However, at the same time, municipalities are navigating practical questions related to fleet transition planning, charging infrastructure, procurement processes, and operational readiness. These challenges can be particularly pronounced for smaller and rural municipalities, where geographic distance, infrastructure limitations, and resource constraints can make fleet electrification more complex.<\/span><\/p>\n In partnership with Clean Foundation<\/strong><\/a>, QUEST Canada\u2019s one-hour workshop – March 31st from 2:30 pm-3:30 pm Atlantic Time<\/strong> – will create a collaborative learning space for municipal staff, technical experts, and regional partners to explore practical approaches to municipal fleet electrification. <\/span><\/p>\n The session will focus on sharing lessons learned, identifying common barriers, and highlighting strategies that can support municipalities as they plan and implement fleet transitions.<\/span><\/p>\n Register Now!<\/strong><\/p>\n If you’d like further information, please write to meeting host Aaliyah Lahai<\/strong><\/a>, Lead, Community Energy Planning & Projects, QUEST Canada.<\/p>\n Have a ‘Big’ Question about Community Energy in New Brunswick?<\/strong><\/p>\n Be sure to send in you community energy transition question ahead of time \u2013 and we’ll assure it’s answered well during the session.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_button button_url=”mailto:alahai@questcanada.org” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Send in Your Energy Transition Question Ahead of Time!” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Button” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#FFCC00″ button_border_width=”0px” button_font=”|600|||||||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The second New Brunswick NCA Working Group session will focus on sharing strategies that best support municipalities as they plan and implement fleet transitions.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":53,"featured_media":262017,"template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":" [et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" admin_label=\"section - NB PEI WG\" _builder_version=\"4.19.2\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row padding_top_bottom_link_1=\"true\" padding_top_bottom_link_2=\"true\" padding_left_right_link_1=\"true\" padding_left_right_link_2=\"true\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" custom_margin=\"-37px|auto||auto||\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" module_class=\"blurb-shadow custom-blurb\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" background_color=\"#ffffff\" custom_padding=\"25px|25px|25px|25px\" custom_css_main_element=\"min-height:350px;\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_blurb url_new_window=\"on\" use_icon=\"on\" font_icon=\"\ue023||divi||400\" image_icon_width=\"77px\" admin_label=\"Calendar Icon\" module_class=\"pa_hyperlink\" _builder_version=\"4.19.2\" header_level=\"h3\" header_text_align=\"center\" header_text_color=\"#333333\" body_text_color=\"#333333\" custom_margin=\"0px||0px||false|false\" custom_padding=\"||0px||false|false\" icon_font_size=\"77px\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_cta title=\"New Brunswick & Prince Edward Island Municipal Working Group\" button_url=\"https:\/\/questcanada.org\/nb-pei-municipal-working-group\/\" button_text=\"Visit the Working Group Webpage\" _builder_version=\"4.17.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" background_enable_color=\"off\" custom_button=\"on\" button_text_size=\"14px\" button_text_color=\"#333333\" button_bg_color=\"#FFCC00\" button_border_width=\"0px\" button_alignment=\"center\" text_orientation=\"left\" background_layout=\"light\" custom_margin=\"0px||||false|false\" custom_padding=\"0px||||false|false\" link_option_url_new_window=\"on\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]Launched in 2016, the New Brunswick & Prince Edward Island (NB-PEI) Municipal Working Group is a resource for municipalities engaged in community energy planning, partnership-building and smart energy projects to share their experiences, lessons learned and transfer knowledge about best practices.
