  • Consideration of the impacts on forest lands if the proposal for pulp and paper mill in Southwest Nova Scotia were to go forward.

• Design and implement a digital campaign calendar to support phased messaging and outreach.
• Participate in virtual meetings with campaign partners to share updates and refine strategies.
