Dialogues

Community Dialogues (in person)

These are local and regional meetings where New Brunswickers can provide input on addressing poverty in New Brunswick. Community Dialogues are a very inclusive problem-solving approach to deal with complex public issues.  When everyone in a community is affected, everyone should take part in finding solutions. In this way, a partnership is formed where people work together to achieve a common goal. Community Inclusion Networks (CINs) and Regional Service Commissions (RSCs) will organize community dialogues in their respective regions.

NOTE: If you are unable to participate in person, please contact ESIC at 1-888-295-4545.
