It’s time in 2025 for another Social Forum in New Brunswick. Our theme, The Many vs The Money, speaks to a collective desire resonating across the province, Canada and the world for a more socially and environmentally just society.

The NB Media Co-op and partners invite activists, community champions and all leaders and engaged New Brunswickers to propose information tables and workshops for the Social Forum in Wolastokuk.

The event in Fredericton on the first weekend of October will be widely advertised and open free of charge to the general public.

We are open now for your proposals for information tables and workshops at the event. Share your vision with the general public!

We booked the Social Forum in Wolastokuk at Cathedral Memorial Hall for October 4 and 5. We are organizing now to fill the space. We have room for eight workshops – with grants of $300 to workshop organizers to help defray their costs – and up to 50 information tables.

Applications for workshops will close as soon as all spaces are filled with a final deadline of June 30, so apply as soon as possible to hold a workshop. Workshop organizers can also have an info table.

We are aiming for 50 info tables and applications will be accepted until the end of September. We’re interested in all topics, ideas and strategies for a more socially and environmentally just New Brunswick.

Apply HERE to hold a workshop and/or have an info table at the event.

The NB Media Co-op began after the first NB Social Forum in 2008, and for the past 16 years our media cooperative has been publishing news and stories with a social justice lens, including the perspectives of workers, students, Indigenous and racialized peoples and many other groups marginalized in New Brunswick.

Social Forum in Wolastokuk host partners are the Madhu Verma Migrant Justice Centre, Wilmot United Church, and the CEDAR project at St. Thomas University (and its partners Passamaquoddy Recognition Group Inc. (PRGI) representing the Peskotomuhkati Nation in Canada, Wolastoq Grand Council, Sierra Club Canada Foundation, Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility, and academic researchers at the Université de Moncton and University of British Columbia).

Apply now to share your vision with the public at the event in October.
