  • Former Aigles Bleus Coach Perron Made His Name in Moncton SEAN HATCHARD TIMES & TRANSCRIPT
    27 oct. 2016 – Times & Transcript Former Aigles Bleus coach Perron made his name in Moncton SEAN HATCHARD TIMES & TRANSCRIPT Jean Perron coached the Montreal Canadiens to a Stanley Cup victory in 1986. He paraded down Saint Catherine Street as thousands of Canadiens fans lined the parade route. But it was his 10 seasons as head coach of the Université de Moncton Aigles Bleus that Perron calls “the best hockey time in my life.There’s no question about that.” In Perron’s tenure guiding the university men’s team, the Aigles Bleus never missed the playoffs. He helped turn them into a national powerhouse, winning back-to-back Canadian championships in 1981 and 1982. They won four Atlantic conference titles, too. Perron, who coached UdeM from 1973 to 1983, will be inducted into the Moncton Sports Wall of Fame as a builder on Saturday at the Capitol Theatre. The 70-year-old is returning to the city for the festivities from his home in Chandler, Que. “I’ll be there like I never left,” he said. “I’m so excited. I’m like a little kid.” Perron has never forgotten the scene in the city when his team arrived home from winning its first national championship in 1981 in Calgary. “Bill Boucher, the director of the alumni association,called me before I left Calgary and said,‘Jean,you won’t believe what is happening here in Moncton. Get ready because you’re going to have the shock of your life,’”Perron said. “We arrived at the airport and there was 5,000 people jam-packed in the small airport, and there was a line of cars from the airport to downtown.

  • French & English in Dieppe (NB)
    Travaux neuchâtelois de linguistique, 2016, 64, 141-160 French & English in Dieppe (NB) Simon GABAY Département de littérature française, Université de Neuchâtel [email protected] Le présent article décrit la situation linguistique à Dieppe. À la fois dernière ville francophone au sud-est de l'arc acadien et immédiate banlieue de la ville de Moncton, elle héberge une majorité de francophones en contact permanent avec la communauté anglophone, majoritaire dans la province du Nouveau-Brunswick. Le continuum linguistique est le plus étendu possible, allant de locuteurs unilingues français à des locuteurs unilingues anglais, en passant par des locuteurs parfaitement bilingues. À l'aide de différentes sources (sondages de Statistiques Canada, sondages municipaux et enquête de terrain), nous tentons de dresser le portrait des communautés francophones et anglophones, ainsi que des relations qu'elles entretiennent. Se dessine une relation plutôt apaisée, mais plus instable qu'on l'imagine de prime abord. 1. Introduction Dieppe is a Canadian city in the southwestern part of the francophone area of New Brunswick, located in the immediate suburb of Moncton, which is the largest city of the province (Map 1). Even though the province of New Brunswick and the city of Moncton are officially bilingual, French is the mother tongue of less than a third of the inhabitants, whereas more than 70% of Dieppe's citizens are native French speakers. Therefore, Dieppe can be seen as the gate offering access to urban life for the francophone population of the mostly rural north-west part of the province. Despite the existence of the Greater Moncton Census Metropolitan Area, which encompasses Moncton, Riverview and Dieppe, we had the impression during our visit that Dieppe is not merely a neighbourhood within a homogeneous political and cultural unit, but rather a peninsula.

  • Canada 2020 Crime & Safety Report: Vancouver
    Canada 2020 Crime & Safety Report: Vancouver This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Consulate in Vancouver, British Colombia. OSAC encourages travelers to use this report to gain baseline knowledge of security conditions in Western Canada. For more in-depth information, review OSAC’s Canada country page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Canada at Level 1, indicating travelers should exercise normal precautions. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. Overall Crime and Safety Situation Crime Threats The U.S. Department of State has assessed Vancouver as being a LOW-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. While 2019 reports saw upward trends in some indices, overall criminal activity in Vancouver remains lower than cities of comparable size (approximately 675,000 residents) in the U.S. Property crimes remain by far the biggest threat to residents and visitors alike. Organized crime, including gang-related crime, is an ongoing issue in the lower mainland of British Columbia (BC). Asian gangs have long had a dominant presence in BC, and there are indications that Mexican cartels are gaining a foothold in the region. Asian organized crime and outlaw motorcycle gangs operate throughout BC, trafficking goods to the U.S., Australia, and Japan. The rate of violent crime remains low in Vancouver, although there was an overall increase of 9% in 2019.

  • Thunder Bay International Airport Authority Board of Directors
    THUNDER BAY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRESIDENT & CEO, CHARLES CIRTWILL 25 AUGUST 2015, THUNDER BAY What IS Northern Policy Institute Independent - There are a couple of BIG differences between “working WITH a Policy Institute” and “HIRING a consultant”: we don’t work for you and we can’t guarantee an answer you will like. Independent means just that – • Funders, members and stakeholders do not direct the work of Northern Policy Institute. • Board, funders, members and stakeholders do not “pick” projects or pre-determine results. • Staff and contract authors follow the evidence. o Northern Policy Institute does NOT take positions – we ask the questions – the authors provide, and defend, the answers. o Their analysis is tested before publication: Double blind peer review – just like academic journals.
