From August 2022 to March 2023, I held the climate change communications intern position at ACAP Saint John. This has been a professional and personal experience for me since my family has roots in Rothesay, although most of them now live in Quebec. Being back in Saint John and working at ACAP brings back many memories from my childhood of this area. During the internship, I have had the opportunity to take part in many different activities including native tree plantings and maintenance, gardening, community cleanups, Saint John Harbour monitoring (of water quality, fish, and seals.), and classroom education.
