You’re invited to join us for the Premier’s Open House on Wednesday, December 11 in Fredericton. The Premier’s Open House brings together the public, the Premier, Government of New Brunswick (GNB) officials and staff, and New Brunswick businesses to celebrate the holidays in a professional and festive setting.
Guests are invited to explore, sample, or buy from vendors showcasing a variety of locally produced food, beverages, and consumer goods from around the province.
