    We recently took part in an annual security exercise at Port Saint John’s, #NewBrunswick. This event brought together port facility operators, industry stakeholders, and emergency response partners to test and strengthen our collective response to emergencies.
    A large group of people stands together at the front of a meeting room, posing behind tables with notebooks and coffee cups. Two presentation screens behind them display the word “WELCOME” over an ocean-themed background. A cardboard box labeled “JNB” sits on a table in front of the group.
