I'm not sure where they get there stats because 3 doctors per resident does not seem right considering how many Monctonians are still on a waiting list for a doctor to be available.

But do love the fact where on the list, and there median home price I think might be a little off but close to the actual median home price non the less.

FWIW - Greater Moncton now has two powerful ministers in the federal cabinet. Dominic LeBlanc (Beausejour - Fisheries, Oceans & Coast Guard) and Ginette Petitpas-Taylor (Moncton, Riverview, Dieppe - Federal Minister of Health). Dominic or course is also Justin's best friend and confidente.

SE NB has never been so well represented in cabinet........

^ No place in NB generally has ever been so well represented... Hopefully she has a broader scope in her policy positions

Was rummaging through my fathers old collection of Canadian Geographic and found this addition from 1995! I figured I would take some photos of the magazine and post it here.

That is the one on the corner next to st. James gate and almost across from the parking garage.

This small clip was an 'in the moment' type of video capture which I took during the time I was taking photos of the new street curb being installed around the Events Centre. See Event Centre thread.

Since VIA just arrived seconds before I got to the scene, I thought I would perform a flyby and take advantage of the situation, since there are been no recorded scenes of VIA next to the Events Centre that I had seen before on this forum.

There was no planning, no thoughts, no major creativity put together in this 2 min clip. The intent was not to make an official "downtown promotional video", but rather a little clip for fellow skyscrapers to enjoy and add some content to this site.

Here in Canada, drone owners MUST follow the Federal rules which are placed by the Department of Transportation or be faced with possible fines of up to $3000. These rules limits the ability on where you can fly responsibly.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try and spice it up next time!

I appreciate the clip, don't get me wrong.. I just think the angle looking onto Moncton with all the parking lots, unmanicured lawns.. makes Moncton look a little trashy.. I totally respect that you have to follow rules with regards to flying drowns. Moncton has a lovely downtown and looks really good from other angles.. this one was just not flattering. Not at all a reflection of your video clip taking skills. Thank you for sharing, sorry if that came across as insensitive. it was just an ugly angle of Moncton. Just like any person who takes a selfie, we all have good and bad angles. Cities are no exception

125 new jobs in r&d with Dream Payment setting up shop in Moncton.

Could only find the Acadie Nouvelle article so far https://www.acadienouvelle.com/actua...ois-a-moncton/

From the looks of the picture, the space they currently have is on main st downtown, hopefully they stay downtown!!

If they hire as quick as BMM, it might take a while...

Indeed. There is no question that the biggest disappointment in recent years regarding job announcements is BMM Test Labs.

Unless they already have work lined up for the next 5 years, you can predict how many ppl you'll hire in the future.

There's plenty of those of company here in MTL (we called them QA sweatshop). They work by contract, and once its done, they let go most of the team, and "we'll call for the next one".

They say 1000 jobs....but it could also be 200 people hired 4-5 times.

Plus i rad some of their requirements, and even I (QA with 10 years testing medical app, websites, phone system, Mobile app, Flash Games, ad injection, etc) would probably not get it.

Ppl with those requirements will not apply for a job that probably pay 15$/h...

They are a typical QA contract shop , dependant on contracts.. they have embedded testers at ALC and a few other places here. QA pays more like 38k(out of college)-75k here.. its not a 15$ hr call center job.

They are however rumored to be one of the lowest paying shops around.

That doesn't surprise me in the least. Since Moncton has actively stated they are moving towards removing the surface parking downtown - I think they have actually added. I have seen a few lots added south of Main Street, especially around the Rogers building. They did to stop allowing the development of surface parking downtown.

The city posted on their FB page that they will host an open house to present the changes coming to Centennial beach

This is their concept

Dumont Hospital, and Moncton Hospital have a deal that seems to put patients needs first. 2 new MRI machines to be added to the current 2 at Dumont, and the province is to up the operating budget to make this work. With this it wont matter if you are a patient of the Moncton Hospital, or Dumont. You will be able to go to either one where an MRI is available. They are saying this deal has been in the works for years, and will cut wait times significantly.


Personally I was place on an "Emergency" wait list for an MRI, and waited almost 9 months, and would have had to wait longer if a spot had not suddenly opened up.
