We will be at the Fair on Saturday - stop by our booth to say hello!

# community expo

Please help us share the word!!

There’s more than one way to experience the Community Empowerment Fair!

You might come with a question and leave knowing exactly where to turn. You could discover a program you did not know existed, hear something helpful during an information session, or make a connection with one of the more than 50 local service providers taking part.

For others, the day might mean enjoying some time at the Seniors’ Café, bringing the kids along for family-friendly activities, or stopping by the Know Your Vitals Station with NBCC students. However you choose to spend your time, the fair is a chance to explore what is happening in Charlotte County and Fundy Shores and find something that is meaningful to you.

With so much happening in one place, there really is something for every age and stage of life.
Join us on Saturday, September 12 from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the Garcelon Civic Centre in St. Stephen.

Free admission, plus a giveaway at every booth!!

Learning is a lifelong journey. Whether someone is reading their first book, improving everyday literacy skills, or exploring a new interest, every new skill builds confidence and opens the door to new opportunities.
