Newfoundland Power has announced the five selected projects for EnviroFest 2026, an annual initiative that supports environmental projects making a positive impact in communities across the island.
This year, five community-led sustainability projects have been selected for a grant of $6,000 and hands-on support from Newfoundland Power team members:
Projects:
· Cowan Heights Elementary School – Outdoor Learning Classroom and Pollinator Garden (St. John’s)
This project will turn an underused school space into an inclusive, year-round outdoor learning area.
· Lakewood Academy – The Giving Grove (Glenwood)
An edible orchard will be developed on school grounds to support learning, education, and community engagement.
· Lional Kelland Hospice – North Gardens: Accessible Community Garden Expansion (Grand Falls-Windsor)
This project will expand the North Gardens with accessible raised beds to create a therapeutic space.
· St. George’s Community Garden & Trail Committee – Community Garden and Greenspace (St. George’s)
The community garden will be expanded to enhance biodiversity and improve public access.
· Town of Small Point–Adam’s Cove–Blackhead–Broad Cove – Ballfield Trailhead Greenspace (Small Point–Adam’s Cove–Blackhead–Broad Cove)
A wildfire-impacted site will be transformed into a trailhead greenspace with accessible paths, seating, and new plantings adjacent to a ballfield and community trails.
Newfoundland Power is celebrating 29 years of EnviroFest, the cornerstone of the company’s community-based Environmental Commitment Program. This year’s events will be held from June 1–5, 2026, to coincide with Canadian Environment Week.
