Did you know that right here in New Brunswick, we have a unique natural spring? JANO Spring, tucked away in Village Blanchard, was discovered by Gilbert Légère in the late ’80s. Since then, Lorenzo Morais of Caraquet has brought this crisp, pure water to us through a bottling plant. With a perfect pH balance of 7.9, JANO Water is tested daily to ensure it’s packed with the minerals we need to stay hydrated and healthy.

Keep an eye out for JANO Water—a true taste of what New Brunswick has to offer! Buy Local for Good! 💧

To learn more about JANO, check out their website here: https://janosource.com/
