Moncton’s Hosting Experience: First-rate Sporting Hub
Moncton’s event hosting track record is impressive for a city of its size. The community has acquired solid experience by putting on key international and national events. The success of these larger events was made possible thanks to well-established local cultural and sporting organizations who host regional and local events regularly and have developed strong expertise and volunteer base as a result. These groups have contributed their skills, hard work and collaboration to help Moncton host top-notch national and international events.
