Moncton building permits reach $56M in first quarter
City says building permits for first quarter of 2024 are double that of last year Author of the article:Brunswick News Published Apr 26, 2024 • 1 minute read https://tj.news/city-hall/moncton-bu...-first-quarter (paywall) The first quarter is usually the quietest time of the year for building permits, so this may auger well for the remainder of the year. The most interesting project named in the article was for a "$14.7-million warehouse construction by Greystone Energy Systems on Desbrisay Avenue." They are busy prepping a large lot in the MID West Industrial Park right now, so this must be what it is for. |

Glad to hear especially since it felt so quiet relative to all the Saint John updates (i.e., Fundy Quay and NB musée) |

Meanwhile they keep busy constructing new apartment buildings. Here's the CBC story from last year: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-b...is%20installed. |

Oh that’s understandable. It more the lack of designs etc. being shared. |
Anytime you are dependent on multiple levels of government doing something before a project can take place things move with glacial slowness.
Just look at the history of Fundy Quay in Saint John......"in the works"and talked about by governments for over a decade. Even the redesign of Loyalist Plaza and the Market Square boardwalk. What private enterprise could have done in a season the city will have taken 2 full years and part of a third to accomplish. Until you have dealt with them it's hard to fathom just how slow governments can move |

Does anyone know what is being done to Alexander Park (between Reade & Jones)...they've completely torn our the Tennis Court this week so far (which is heavily used in summer).

"Multi-sport Court" so tennis and pickle ball I'm assuming...all the tennis peeps that use this court aren't going to be happy about the impending invasion of picklers. Looks like they are turning the court too from North/South to East/West. I do like the addition of all the trees, and the re-routing of the pass through path, although the trees could make seeing walkers more difficult. Definitely interesting changes. I had added an image but it was WAY too big for here, lol |

I live nearby as well, I think it's a HUGE mistake to downsize the basketball court and tennis in favor of picketball. I know picketball is trendy with the boomer generation at the moment, but they're essentially kicking out all the youth out of the park. When I completed the survey I suggested they double the basketball court and add a mini soccer field(fenced in) like you see in most major cities. |
Moncton has a new degree granting institution:
Moncton college launches three-year nursing program Oulton College will be the first college in the province to offer a degree program Author of the article: Payge Woodard Published May 06, 2024 • 2 minute read https://tj.news/moncton-miramichi/mo...ursing-program (paywall) |
Couldn't have said any better myself

The city decided to REMOVE the basketball court entirely ( only one hoop isn't a court for me ). We used to have loads of fun there, playing huge games with teams of 10 vs 10 and what I envision now with this new plan for the park is it just becoming overrun by drug users. what a sad day for me and the other basketball enthusiasts in the neighbourhood ( quite many of us ). |

I'm sure this situation can be addressed with some imagination. The lack of hospital based clinical instructors is the main issue. This will also be a HUGE issue with the new UPEI medical schools too. Charlottetown is a small city for a medical school, and, the QE2 Hospital has fewer staff and resources than any of the four big hospitals in NB (TMH, GDH, SJRH and Chalmers). It takes a lotta planning to get things right. You can't just wave a magic wand and "poof" automatically get a full fledged medical or nursing school. |
Canada Games Council have announced a joint bid from Moncton and Saint John for the 2029 Canada Summer Games.

I am not against being cost conscious in hosting the Canada Games. It's just that this would have been a golden opportunity for Moncton to get an aquatic facility of it's own. |
