Pledge
The Bay of Fundy, celebrated as one of the world’s natural wonders, is a living landscape of extraordinary tides, thriving ecosystems, and deep cultural roots. Its coastlines, tidal wetlands, and forested valleys form part of the Wabanaki Forest - recognized as the most biodiverse forest type in North America. Anchored by two UNESCO designations - the Fundy Biosphere Region and Stonehammer Global Geopark - this area stands as a symbol of balance between people and nature, where communities work together to protect and celebrate truly unique natural and cultural heritage.

I pledge to protect the lifeblood of Fundy, its waters. I will use water wisely, conserve where I can, and prevent pollution by keeping soaps, waste, and litter out of streams and tides. I will support community initiatives that safeguard clean drinking water and healthy habitats, remembering that every drop connects forests, communities, and the Bay itself.
