However, in New Brunswick, there is a unique camp for teenagers that focuses on union education.  \n\nBlair Doucet, the past president of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour, believed that youth involvement was crucial to a strong Labour movement. He identified a need to expand teens’ understanding of unions, and created the camp two decades ago.  \n\nThe 20th edition of the Blair Doucet youth summer camp concluded on August 8th, 2025.  \n\nWe spoke with Paula Doucet, daughter of Blair Doucet, and Adam Mallais, who attended the camp annually from 2013-2016."}
