Fundy Connects Summit 2026
April 23 & 24, 2026
Poley Mountain Resorts,
Waterford, NB
The Fundy Connects Summit is not a typical conference.
It is a working space where municipalities, businesses, community organizations, and regional partners come together to explore how we steward our communities and economies together.
Join us April 23–24 at Poley Mountain Resorts for the 4th Fundy Connects Summit as we continue to advance a destination development and stewardship approach that builds strong communities, grows local economies, and creates lasting benefits across our region and province.
Summit Theme: Workforce Resilience
This year, we are putting a special focus on Workforce Resilience: our communities' collective capacity to attract, support, retain, and continually re-skill people in ways that strengthen livelihoods, steward place, and build long-term community wealth and wellbeing.
The Summit will share progress of the Fundy Coast Fundy Foothills Destination Development & Stewardship Strategy, including:
-
GreenStep Sustainability Action Plan
-
Driftscape integration (storytelling and itineraries)
-
jPrep and workforce alignment
-
Community Welcome Centres evolution
-
Lessons from Shorefast Institute, including: Economic Nutrition - we are thrilled to share that the Shorefast Institute for Place-Based Economies will be joining us for both days to help facilitate some conversations and to make a special announcement!
