A Good Place to Live is a Good Place to Visit!

The Friends of Fundy, incorporated in 1982 as the Fundy Guild Inc., is a charitable organization that exists to enhance public awareness and appreciation of the cultural and natural heritage of Fundy National Park and increase engagement in the surrounding area, the Rural Upper Bay of Fundy Region.

The founding members of the organization were recognized and celebrated for their ecological expertise, their pride of place, their support of Fundy National Park and their deep belief in the importance of leadership and collaboration for vibrant prosperous thriving communities.

As the official ‘Friends’ of Fundy National Park, we create conditions for meaningful experiences that contribute to the region’s conservation and community economic development goals and we work closely with our partners on a variety of events, festivals and initiatives.

The Friends of Fundy operates three gift shop locations: Outpost East & Outpost West at the two entries of Fundy National Park and Outpost Alma on Main St. in the Village. The shops host one of New Brunswick’s largest selections of nature books as well as locally crafted jewelry, art, natural products and a fine assortment of games, puzzles, souvenirs, and official Fundy National Park merchandise. All profits from the gift shops are reinvested back into community to enhance local stewardship efforts.

Beginning in 2018, the Friends of Fundy have placed special emphasis on regional collaboration to achieve community goals & aspirations throughout the Rural Upper Bay of Fundy region. These aspirations reflect the culture and heritage of the area and its relationship with the landscape – the bedrock of building a thriving local rural lifestyle and economy.

Friends of Fundy acknowledges that the land on which we operate is the traditional unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Wabanaki People and is covered by the Covenant Chain of Sacred Peace and Friendship Treaties signed between 1725 and 1779. These treaties have been affirmed and are protected by Section 35 of the Canada Constitution. We would like to extend our appreciation for the opportunity to live, learn, and work on their territory.
