Nichola Taylor

Chair, New Brunswick ACORN

Since reaching out to ACORN to get help in fighting a renoviction Nichola has been a positive force to be reckoned with. Since being elected Chair of NB ACORN in June of 2022, Nichola has organized actions and rallies around NB ACORN’s groundbreaking Rent Cap and Renoviction Ban campaigns. She is ACORN’s (and working class tenants) primary spokesperson in New Brunswick.

Jonathan King

Jonathan was elected Secretary in June 2025 after a year of active involvement in NB ACORN activities. He is often found at ACORN actions in Fredericton. Jonathan lives in the Grand Lake area of New Brunswick, with his family.

Peter Jongeneelen

Chair, Moncton Chapter

Peter - along with his partner Vanessa Jones - have not so quietly turned Moncton ACORN into a well oiled machine for building working class tenant power. It’s rare that two weeks go by without Peter organizing an action that lands ACORN on the front pages of New Brunswick’s newspapers.

Shawn Dow

Co-Chair, Moncton Chapter

2025 was a difficult year for so many, myself included. When an organizer knocked on my door and offered me a chance to be a part of Moncton ACORN I saw this as an opportunity to make a contribution towards affordable housing and energy. ACORN helps those in need in NB and it has helped me being a part of this very important group.

Talen Repko

Secretary, Moncton Chapter

Talen moved to Moncton in 2021 and was shocked by the poverty on display at every corner, he hadn't been raised in a small town in Nova Scotia to turn away from those in need. He saw a flyer fighting for affordable groceries and joined NB ACORN in 2024 so that his voice could be heard. Now he's working with Moncton ACORN to give a voice to everyone.
