About Us
The St. John River Society is a not‐for‐profit organization that founded in 1992 by a group of individuals dedicated to the promotion and appreciation of the Wolastoq | St. John River and the stewardship of its natural and cultural heritage and resources. Today the organization represents the entire 673km length of the Wolastoq | St. John River and undertakes programs that will ensure its continued sustainable use and recognition as "one of the major rivers of Canada" (Hugh MacLennan, Seven Rivers of Canada, 1961). The Society has four programming pillars based around its mission, and continues to develop programs and projects that serve these ends: Recognition, Access, Education and Sustainable Management.
The St. John River Society focuses on building community strength and managing national and regional multi‐stakeholder projects, and continues to strive for sustainable use and appreciation of our beloved Wolastoq | St. John River.
