Summer’s almost here, and if you’re a student working in the Saint John Region, we’ve got your first can’t miss event of the season.
Fusion Saint John, in partnership with Envision Saint John: The Regional Growth Agency, is launching a fresh summer series designed to help you work, play, and truly connect in the place you’re spending your summer – and maybe even your future, too.
It’s your chance to dive into everything that makes this region vibrant, welcoming, and truly a good time.
It all kicks off on Wednesday, May 21 with:
Explore Uptown & Connect
An Uptown Saint John Walking Tour + Social
What’s the Vibe?
This first event is all about discovery and connection – showing off the heart of
uptown, introducing you to some incredible people, and giving you that first real taste of summer in Saint John.
You’ll:
– Wander through uptown’s iconic streets with a guided walking tour
– Uncover street art, historic spots, and local legends
– Wrap up at The Country Club on the Boardwalk, where you’ll mix and mingle
with young professionals, fellow students, and some of the city’s changemakers.
Expect casual convo, interesting insights, and new friends who might just be your go-to coffee run buddies all summer.
Why you should add this to you calendar?
This isn’t your average orientation. It’s the start of a summer that’s all about more than just work. Whether you’re from Saint John or it’s your first time here, this is your chance to:
– Feel welcomed and connected
– Get your bearings in the city and find your new favorite hangouts
