People are friendly in Quispamsis…more so than most places in Canada.

Quispamsis has been ranked 8th out of 25 communities for friendliness by Jennifer Cuellar of the travel website Expedia.ca.

The Telegraph-Journal reports Cuellar wrote exercise does wonders for a person’s mood, so she says people take advantage of the numerous trails and parks in the town before ducking into local haunts. Mayor Gary Clarke issued a release saying they know Quispamsis is a warm and welcoming community and it’s gratifying that others recognize it as well.

THere was a fatal train-pedestrian accident in downtown Moncton yesterday.

It happened at a crossing on Robinson Street metres from where a man in a wheelchair was killed by a train last July. Witnesses said the lights were flashing, bells were ringing and the control arm was down at the time.
