MONCTON BRIEF

The City of Moncton is extremely proud of its role in Atlantic Canada as the economic leader of the region. Moncton and its citizens continue to work hard to further develop the city, as we begin the new millennium full of possibility and promise.

The city proper has a population of 69,074 (2011). The Moncton CMA has a population of 138,644 (2011), making it the largest CMA in New Brunswick and the second-largest CMA in the Maritime Provinces. The CMA includes the neighbouring city of Dieppe and the town of Riverview, as well as adjacent suburban areas in Westmorland and Albert counties.

Moncton has a rich heritage, visible through our pre-dominant population groups: English Speaking and French-Acadians. Together, these two groups demonstrate how people of different backgrounds and cultures can live and work together in harmony.

A vibrant and friendly city, Moncton is the place to move, whether you are looking for family fun or for an exciting night out on the town, Moncton has much to offer. Moncton's enviable flair for life and rich culture is a must to be experienced. With many events, festivals, and happenings scheduled year round, Moncton is an exciting place to be. There truly is something for everyone.

As we look into the future, we see that Moncton certainly has a bright one. With downtown development moving ahead by giant leaps, some of the most affordable housing in the country and growth and diversification in our commercial base, we are certainly confident about our future and our position as a leader in Atlantic Canada.

Nestled in the heart, the very geographic centre of the Maritimes. Greater Moncton is an area where the arts and history of two cultures, Acadian and English intermingle. This region's unique blend of historic sites and modern conveniences is attractive to both tourists and local residents alike.

Founded at a bend in the Petitcodiac River, Moncton itself was originally an Acadian settlement known as "le Coude" (the elbow) until it was left abandoned after the forceful deportation of the Acadian people. Both the city and the nearby Memramcook valley boast a wealth of unique museums and interpretative centres which help bring the rich traditions and history of the Acadians alive.
