In pouring rain, the group collected more than 50 bags of coffee cups, plastic wrapping, bottles, household products, and other assorted garbage discarded by passing motorists.

The Fredericton North Rotary Club, who's motto is "service above self", undertakes throughout the year numerous local and international community projects, as well as highway cleanup projects.

When Jacques Bertrand saw swarms of people hunched over, picking up litter off the side of the highway, he decided to join in the cause.

Jacques Bertrand, who is the project co-ordinator of the Knights of Columbus, shows off the section of Trans-Canada Highway that they are taking over to keep clean. The section runs from Mapleton Boulevard to Elmwood Drive on the eastbound lanes.

"Last year I was biking across Canada, and I saw a bunch of Adopt-A-Highway signs," says Bertrand, whose Knights of Columbus Council took on a stretch of the highway.

"I saw a bunch of people cleaning ditches and highways. And anyone over 12 can get involved," says Bertrand. "We will cover the Mapleton Road and Elmwood Drive exits, on the south side."

The Knights of Columbus is a group "devoted to the Catholic Church" who are very involved in the community.

"We do community work, and our four principles are charity, fraternity, unity, and patriotism. We are a charity organization, and we live according to faith," says Bertrand.

You can - by adopting a portion of a New Brunswick highway.

Last year, more than 1,300 New Brunswickers, including this group, spent 4,500 hours collecting 3,000 bags of trash.

Adopt-a-Highway Program
Funding Received!


The Department of Environment and the Environmental Trust Fund (ETF) announced the funding for the 2011-2012 year. The original decision to cut all funding to the Adopt-a-Highway program has been ammended. As of April 29, 2011, the ETF has decided to provide the Adopt-a-Highway program with a financial contribution of $50,000. Although this is not the full amount required, this will allow the Program to continue this year.

Thank you to all who have taken the time to support the Adopt-a-Highway program. Groups can now proceed with planning their spring clean-ups.

To become a volunteer Adopt-a-Highway group, please complete the Application Form and send it to CFANB.
