COMMUNITY INVESTMENT

Port Saint John gives back.

Through donations and employee volunteer hours, our team supports dozens of local charities and non-profits, especially those with a strong focus on providing basic needs to children and families in neighbourhoods surrounding the harbour. Other giving categories include:

• Poverty reduction

• Food security

• Health & wellbeing

• Education

• Diversity and inclusion

• Environmental initiatives

• Arts and culture

New Brunswick Naval Memorial Support

We have committed a multi-year donation to the New Brunswick Naval Memorial on Harbour Passage to help complete groundwork around the memorial and to support a three-year research project into New Brunswick's naval heritage being carried through by the Gregg Centre at UNB. The outcome of the three year project will be a digital series of videos of varying lengths telling stories connected to naval history, including connections to the area of the Port. The series will augment the information on site at the memorial through strategically placed QR codes and also be available on the New Brunswick Naval Memorial’s website.

Port Artist In Residence

In 2022, artist and sculptor Fred Harrison, best known for his stunning murals in the Sussex area, was selected for the second biannual Port Saint John Artist Residency. The aim of the residency is to support the community and the arts while elevating profiles and opportunities for New Brunswick artists. His art was presented at Saint John Arts Centre in September 2023. Our next artist residency will be chosen in the summer of 2024 and will be on exhibit in September of 2025.
