Most residents of the greater Moncton area are in favour of amalgamation.
Civic officials say this issue rarely comes up…but Corporate Research Associates did a poll recently showing 59% of area residents are in favour of a merger of Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview. 28% were opposed.
Don Mills, CEO of C-R-A, says support was strongest in the cities at 64% and 65%…lowest in Riverview at only 38%.
It was a hot, muggy day through much of the province yesterday…and that usually means thunderstorms.
There was a severe storm with heavy winds that rolled over the Acadian Peniunsula last night knocking out power to thousands of people. Power poles were snapped, roof tiles were blown off buildings in Caraquet. The causeway to Lameque Island was blocked by all the downed poles. NB Power crews and some from outside the province will be trying to get things strung back up through the day.
