Fredericton's Affordable Housing Strategy is getting an update, and we want to hear from you.

The City adopted its first Affordable Housing Strategy in 2022, and since then, housing costs and other related expenses in Fredericton have changed. That’s why we're refreshing the strategy; to make sure it reflects what's happening in the city today.

The updated strategy will ensure the City's current approach is based on the latest data, new funding programs, and what we hear from the community.
The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and is available until September 30, 2026.

Fill out the survey here: https://engagefredericton.ca/affordable-housing-strategy-update

Why do we light our trails?

It’s all about community safety. Improved lighting means greater visibility, enhanced comfort, and more confidence for everyone using the trails, whether you’re walking, cycling, or rolling, day or night.

We’re currently expanding trail lighting on the north side of the trail network, along the trail by Gibson Street, based on feedback received through Engage Fredericton!

Trans Canada Trail

The City of Fredericton is beginning the process to include amalgamated areas into the City’s Municipal Plan and Zoning By-Law to create a coordinated approach to land use planning across Fredericton.

As part of this process the City will be hosting open houses to gather feedback from residents to help ensure that land is developed, and conserved in ways that support safe, sustainable, and well-planned communities. This engagement will help shape how these areas are integrated into the City’s Municipal Plan and Zoning By-law, with a focus on land-use planning and development, not property taxes or municipal service levels.

Attend one of the upcoming open houses to learn more about this work and help shape the future of these neighbourhoods:

Online Sessions:

- Friday, September 18 from 1:00pm – 2:30pm (French)
