New Brunswick Lyme Disease Association Inc.

The year 2024 continued a stage of diminished activity for LymeNB. In an effort to build enthusiasm the board started reaching out to other organizations with a common interest in Lyme and other rick-borne illnesses. The board focused on responding to information inquiries from members and the public. The Lyme awareness activities that were in place in recent years were continued with the major awareness activity being Provincial and Municipal proclamations and the lighting of various municipal structures including the capital city. LymeNB’s Facebook page and support group continued to operate. With the continued challenge of finding volunteers to assist with the operation of LymeNB the board worked toward enhanced collaboration with other stakeholder groups in New Brunswick whose members would have a higher risk of being exposed to ticks and tick-borne illnesses. This included discussions with individuals in other Atlantic Provinces about future collaboration. The hope is that LymeNB will be able to build partnerships going forward to enhance the education and awareness to the public and individuals impacted by Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses.
