N.B. announces details for this summer’s travel incentive program to help tourism sector during pandemic

Leigha Kaiser CTVNewsAtlantic.ca writer

HALIFAX -- The Government of New Brunswick released details Thursday on how the province's Explore NB Travel Incentive Program will work this summer.

In April, the province announced the program would be reoffered again in hopes to encourage New Brunswickers to travel and discover their own province. The program was first offered in the summer of 2020 as a way for the province to support their tourism sector.

"We are happy to be able to offer this program once again to residents," said Tammy Scott-Wallace, New Brunswick's tourism, heritage, and culture minister. "It has helped support many tourism businesses across the province and has helped New Brunswickers to discover new places and hidden gems. It has truly made it possible for many people to continue to explore their province over the past year."

The program will run from May 27 to Oct. 31, offering a 20 per cent rebate on eligible expenses up to $1,000 for New Brunswickers taking a vacation that includes a paid overnight stay in the province.

The four categories of eligible expenses include:

• Accommodations such as at hotels, motels, inns, B&Bs and campsites.
• Food and drink at restaurants and food trucks.
• Activities such as entrance fees to attractions, museums, art galleries, cultural events and outdoor adventure activities.
• Travel expenses such as for vehicle rentals, ferries and parking.

"Applicants may apply for the rebate if they have valid and detailed receipts from registered New Brunswick businesses and have a paid overnight stay at a New Brunswick accommodation," wrote the province in a news release on Thursday.

Applications can be submitted from July 5 to Nov. 30.

$6.7M in funding for N.B. tourism projects

Image: Submitted/ACOA

A federal funding boost for the tourism industry in New Brunswick.

Officials announced $6.7 million on Friday to support a total of 53 projects.

The money comes from the federal government’s Tourism Relief Fund.

“We have so much to be proud of in our beautiful region, and so much to share with visitors,” Ginette Petitpas Taylor, the minister responsible for ACOA, said in a news release.

“As we launch the tourism season, we are reaffirming the sector’s vital importance to our economy, and are committed to helping tourism businesses and organizations in New Brunswick develop the world-class experiences that make Atlantic Canada such a sought-after destination.”

Petitpas Taylor highlighted a handful of the projects to be funded during Friday’s announcement in Fredericton.

Camping Plage Aboiteau Beach in Cap-Pelé will receive $500,000 for a glamping resort. Salty Towers Inn in Saint Andrews will get just shy of $100,000 for renovations.

In addition, Metepenagiag Heritage Park Inc. in Red Bank will get $500,000 for a modern Indigenous interpretive site.

The funding is in addition to $6.4 million previously announced for 53 New Brunswick businesses.

Province will pay New Brunswickers to travel at home to boost tourism

New brunswickers will be allowed to apply for a 20% rebate on eligible expenses while on vacation.

Social Sharing

The province has started a new program that will pay New Brunswickers to vacation at home this summer.

The province has created the Explore NB Travel Incentive program to help stimulate tourism in New Brunswick during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The new program will allow New Brunswickers to apply for a 20 per cent rebate on eligible expenses made while taking a vacation, which includes a paid overnight stay in the province between July 15 and Sept. 30.

"This program is part of our ongoing efforts in assisting the tourism, cultural and recreational sectors to survive, recover and re-i​​​​magine their future as they go through the pandemic," said Tourism, Heritage and Culture Minister Bruce Fitch in a statement.

It has been almost two weeks since the opening of the Atlantic travel bubble between New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador.

The New Brunswick border was closed to prevent the spread of the respiratory virus in March.

In a news release, the province also said the program will benefit New Brunswick's culture and heritage sectors, as some spending in these areas will be eligible for the rebate.

The program was created by the Tourism Labour Force Adjustment Committee, which is composed of industry representatives from various sectors, including the Tourism Industry Association of New Brunswick.

• Activities, such as entrance fees to attractions, museums, art galleries, cultural events and outdoor adventure activities

Increased support for victims of sexual violence in the Madawaska and Victoria counties of New Brunswick

From: Department of Justice Canada

News release

Sexual violence is a crime that has devastating consequences and can cause significant trauma for survivors, victims, and their loved ones.

June 24, 2024—Edmundston, New Brunswick—Department of Justice Canada

Sexual violence is a crime that has devastating consequences and can cause significant trauma for survivors, victims, and their loved ones. The Government of Canada is committed to helping all victims and survivors of sexual crimes by establishing partnerships, to offer them tailored and accessible services.

Today, René Arseneault, Member of Parliament for Madawaska—Restigouche, on behalf of the Honourable Arif Virani, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, and Charlotte Côté, Director of Escale MadaVic, announced funding of $2,127,922 over six years (2021–2027) to Escale MadaVic to support victims and survivors of sexual crimes in the Madawaska and Victoria counties of New Brunswick.

The funding announced today supports Escale MadaVic’s project, “Continuité de développement de la stratégie de collaboration” [Continued Collaborative Strategy Development]. Through the implementation of a collaborative strategy with over 25 stakeholders, including Indigenous and immigrant communities, this project addresses the needs of sexual violence victims and survivors, and improves their access to community response services. The consolidation of this network will improve the sexual violence services and resources available in remote areas of New Brunswick—where access to services is limited and often unavailable in French.

This project will enable the organization to provide its partners with the knowledge and tools they need to address the complex traumas that may result from sexual violence. Working in collaboration with its municipal partners, Escale MadaVic will also inform victims and survivors of the laws and services available to them, as well as raise public awareness of sexual violence through social media and traditional media. These approaches will enable the organization to reach a greater number of people in remote areas.

The Department of Justice Canada is awarding Escale MadaVic $900,000 over three fiscal years (2021–2024) and $1,227,922 over three additional fiscal years (2024–2027) through the Sexual Assault stream of the Victims Fund. This fund provides the resources and knowledge survivors need to facilitate access to justice, improve the capacity of service providers, foster the establishment of referral networks, and increase awareness of services available to victims and survivors of crime and their families.

Founded in 1988, Escale MadaVic is a non-profit organization offering a range of support services to victims of violence—be it spousal, domestic or sexual—and their children, in all their diversity, in the Madawaska and Victoria counties of New Brunswick. Using a trauma-focused approach, the services provided include a shelter; a centre for therapy, assistance and support for victims and survivors of sexual violence; outreach, second stage and artistic expression programs; as well as a 24-hour helpline.

“The funding we are announcing today to Escale MadaVic will help provide better access to justice and community services for victims and survivors of sexual violence. It will also support our national and provincial efforts to keep communities safe, protect victims and survivors, and hold offenders accountable for their actions.” The Honourable Arif Virani, P.C., M.P. Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada

“With the federal support announced today, Escale MadaVic will be able to better address the needs of victims and survivors of sexual violence in the Madawaska and Victoria counties and reach a greater number of people in these regions. The support offered by this program is essential to facilitating access to justice for victims and survivors, including those from Francophone minority communities in New Brunswick.” René Arseneault Member of Parliament for Madawaska—Restigouche

“Since 2016, our region has had a centre of expertise in sexual violence subsidized by the Department of Justice Canada through the Victims Fund. Continued funding allows Escale MadaVic to ensure consistency in the three components of their Éclipse centre: awareness, coordination, and therapeutic intervention. The staff are certified to offer essential services to victims and survivors of sexual violence.” Charlotte Côté Executive Director of Escale MadaVic

Quick facts

The Victims Fund provides funding through grants and contributions to support projects and activities aimed at developing new approaches and promoting access to justice and services for all victims of crime, with a special focus on the needs of vulnerable victims of crime, notably victims of sexual assault.

It is a current priority for the Department of Justice to support activities that will help enhance the criminal justice system’s response to victims and survivors of sexual assault and exploitation, improve their access to justice, increase their confidence in the justice system, and provide them with better services.

Violence affects people of all genders, ages, religions, cultures, ethnicities, geographic locations, and socio-economic backgrounds.

Many Canadians across the country continue to face violence every day because of their gender, gender expression, gender identity or perceived gender. According to data from Statistics Canada :

• In 2019, women living in rural areas of the provinces of Canada experienced rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) that were almost twice as high as women living in urban areas.
• In 2018, 61% of Indigenous women were more likely to experience some form of IPV in their lifetime compared with 44% of non-Indigenous women.
• Over 65% of LGB+ women who had ever been in an intimate partner relationship had experienced at least one type of IPV since the age of 15, significantly more than 44% of heterosexual women.
• In New Brunswick, 849 cases of sexual assault were reported by police in 2022, representing a 52% increase over the past five years. Among these cases, sexual assaults violating the victim’s sexual integrity were the most frequently reported. (Table 35-10-0177-01, 2023)
