About the Series
NSFM is pleased to introduce the Natural Resources & Energy Education Series. This new series of online sessions is designed to create opportunities for municipalities to connect with provincial departments and other partners working in Nova Scotia’s energy and natural resources sectors.
Through these sessions, municipalities will have the opportunity to learn more about emerging developments, ask questions, and consider how current and future initiatives may intersect with their communities.
