N.B. NDP in Race to Fill Party's Ranks 9 juillet 2018 – Times & Transcript N.B. NDP in race to fill party’s ranks ADAM HURAS LEGISLATURE BUREAU A major political party appears on the verge of not being able to nominate a candidate in each riding ahead of the provincial election, despite insisting it still can get a full slate on the ballot in the weeks ahead. The New Brunswick NDP have 13 of its 49 candidates in place, currently 36 away from a full slate. The parties have until Sept. 4 - 20 days before the provincial election - to register candidates with Elections NB. That’s now less than 60 days away. It’s raising a debate over who is the strongest provincial party outside of the big two. A complete list of provincial election candidates nominated as of Friday has been compiled by Brunswick News.It will be updated online each week until the writ is expected to drop in late August. It shows that the Liberals already have 47 of 49 candidates in place. Meanwhile, the Progressive Conservatives are close behind with 41 candidates selected to carry the party banner. “We started late,” said New Democrat Leader Jennifer McKenzie, who became party leader last August. “We have a lot of capacity building to do and we’re going at breakneck speed.” McKenzie said the nomination process is “one part of the activity needed to get ready for the election campaign,”but she insists the party can field 49 candidates. The New Democrats had two nomination conventions on Wednesday night and another one on Thursday. 9 juillet 2018 – Times & Transcript The party ran candidates in all ridings in the 2014 and 2010 provincial elections,the only party outside of the Grits and Tories to do so. The NDP also finished with roughly 13 per cent of the popular vote, nearly double that of the fourth place Greens. But with the province on the verge of the provincial election, they don’t appear as prepared as other parties. “At the last minute, they could put forward what are called ‘paper candidates,’” said Roger Ouellette, a political science professor at Université de Moncton,when asked if he believes the New Democrats can still be on the ballot in all 49 ridings. Ouellette said that the NDP will likely be forced to write in candidates to run in ridings they don’t live in to keep up the profile of a political party. He added that political parties in New Brunswick receive an annual allowance based on the percentage of votes they receive, making the drive for 49 candidates important. Ouellette suggested that the Green Party of New Brunswick is quickly becoming the third option for New Brunswickers. The Greens currently have 26 candidates in place with Carmen Budilean, the party’s executive director, stating that eight others will soon be appointed after being vetted by officials. “I was here in 2014, hired as the campaign manager two months before the election, and we are definitely further ahead than then,”Budilean said. “Right now, there’s at least 20. We can see the difference in our (internal) numbers and analysis.” Budilean said people now see what electing a single Green candidate can do after party leader David Coon’s breakthrough four years ago. The provincial Green party in Prince Edward Island is also currently polling at 34 per cent, success Budilean says rubs off. Meanwhile,the People’s Alliance has already surpassed its own record for nominated candidates. It ran a slate of 18 in 2014, four more than in the party’s first election in 2010. 9 juillet 2018 – Times & Transcript Candidates Liberals: 47 of 49. Progressive Conservatives: 41 of 49.

    YEAR IN REVIEW 2018-2019 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT MY FINAL YEAR AS PRESIDENT OF THE NEW BRUNSWICK PHARMACISTS’ ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN BUSY AND PRODUCTIVE. The NBPA Board of Directors has moved forward with four than just talk. We can no longer rely on the ‘old way’ of caring for strategic directions: engage and enlarge our membership; facilitate patients. Patients need to demand solutions not just for their own transformation of the profession; demonstrate the value of health but for the benefit of the health care system. pharmacy services; and, adapt NBPA governance. I’m pleased to have members volunteering time and energy working toward these This year concludes my term as NBPA President. I consider myself goals with NBPA committees. fortunate to have been given the chance to serve in this capacity. I have had many opportunities to represent New Brunswick We welcomed 500 pharmacists and pharmacy professionals from pharmacists, but this role has also given me the chance to learn across Canada to Fredericton in June 2018 as the NBPA co-hosted from new experiences, and I’m grateful for that. the Canadian Pharmacists Conference.

All Provinces in Canada and States in the USA were eligible to win respective national awards. The NBFSC were awarded as the best in Canada because of “their total integration of the Go Snowmobiling lifestyle into all aspects of organized snowmobiling in New Brunswick”, announced Ed Klim, President of the International Snowmobiler Manufacturers Association (ISMA) to the Congress’ 500 delegates from Canada, United States, Sweden and Russia. “Go Snowmobiling ” is the brainchild of ISMA and first began in 2008. New Brunswick has participated in and integrated the program into our communications from the very beginning; We have “ Gone Snowmobiling” ever since. In 2008 we partnered with the City of Bathurst’s Tourism Department, Meredith Caissie and local Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA), Brian Kenny to host our very first “Go Snowmobiling” Ride in New Brunswick. We spent an entire day, beginning with a local breakfast, greetings and a welcome from Bathurst Mayor Stephen Brunet and MLA, Brian Kenny. The Hon.

Box 6000 Fredericton, New Brunswick E3B 5H1 Dear Ms. Mitton, Thank you for your letter of June 11, 2021 expressing concern regarding the service reductions at the Sackville Memorial Hospital. Decisions of this nature are never made lightly but are based on a full understanding of the staffing and physician resources required to deliver a safe and quality service. Horizon’s leadership has worked closely with the local leaders of the Sackville Memorial Hospital, including their nursing and medical leaders to maintain service levels. Our staff have been incredibly flexible and accommodating by adjusting their schedules and working extra hours, often with very little notice to cover vacant shifts. On many occasions staff and physicians from The Moncton Hospital have also provided critical coverage. Unfortunately, with 33% of the Emergency Department nursing positions vacant, we can no longer guarantee coverage. Staff were consulted prior to making this decision to ensure that any unexplored option could be identified. We have been open in sharing our challenges and we commit to providing regular updates on our staffing status. We will continue our efforts to recruit, but until we are able to fill these vacancies, the service reduction will continue. We will organize a meeting with community stakeholders in the coming weeks to explore opportunities for the community to support our recruitment efforts.

  • Reimaging a Better, Stronger New Brunswick: How Might We Help?
    A letter to the Premier, the Honourable Blaine Higgs: Reimaging a Better, Stronger New Brunswick: How might we help? Office of the Premier Chancery Place 6th Floor P. O. Box 6000 Fredericton, NB E3B 5H1 Canada Re: Reimaging a Better, Stronger New Brunswick – How might we help? Dear Premier Higgs, Let us begin by first offering our sincere thanks for your strong leadership throughout the current Covid-19 crisis that we are collectively faced with as Canadians. We are grateful and inspired by the commitment and collaboration shown across governments and throughout our communities. Everyone is doing their part and going above and beyond to ensure that New Brunswick comes through this in a way that strengthens us as people and a province. There have been many articles, theories and roadmaps for recovery from Covid-19 and, at times, it is overwhelming. There is no playbook to draw from and the task ahead daunting. Over the past four weeks, a number of leaders representing businesses, not-for-profit and the immigration sector have been meeting weekly to share information, support each other and think about: How can we collaborate to best contribute in a meaningful way that is helpful to government? Through our learning and discovery as a group, we looked at the way forward as having three phases: 1. Response – The government and communities’ response has been nothing short of amazing! We are so encouraged and grateful for the leadership and rapid response that has led New Brunswick’s risk level to be minimal. This has set us up to deal with the crisis effectively and to minimize the impact on New Brunswickers.
