Partner:Ā Knowlesville Art and Nature Centre

A hundred kilometres northwest of Fredericton, New Brunswick, a former one-room church was transformed into the Knowlesville Art and Nature Centre, a community meeting space that now generates clean energy from its solar roof. At the Centre, Canadians can learn about and explore creative projects that enrich the social fabric and environmental stewardship of rural New Brunswick. With support from the Bullfrog community, the Centre will generate more green electricity for the community.

ā€œWhat weā€™re trying to create is a neighbourhood where people feel welcome,ā€ says Knowlesville Art and Nature Centre co-founder Tegan Wong-Daugherty.
