A whole of society approach is required to recover from the extensive impact of events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The Community Capacity and Resiliency initiative is focused on taking learning from the pandemic, ice storms, floods, and collaborating with New Brunswick communities to align efforts, build capacity and help communities to become more resilient to future crises and disasters.
A Community Capacity and Resiliency branch has been established within the Department of Justice and Public Safety to coordinate efforts across government and support these community-led regional committees and coordinators.
