Coon was elected at a leadership convention held on the weekend in Fredericton.
He tells CHSJ News the transition is not bittersweet.
He thinks if we can go down the road to economic self-reliance and a green economy then we can attract young people from other provinces.
Coon tells us his short and long term goals range from learning the Green Party's office number to getting out on the road and meeting more people in the province.
