  • 5 Ridings That Will Decide Election
    20 août 2018 – Telegraph Journal 5 RIDINGS THAT WILL DECIDE ELECTION ADAM HURAS LEGISLATURE BUREAU They are the ridings that the experts believe will decide the provincial election. “Depending on what happens in about five ridings, it will be a Progressive Conservative or Liberal government,” Roger Ouellette, political science professor l’Université de Moncton said in an interview. J.P. Lewis, associate professor of politics at the University of New Brunswick added: “It feels like the most likely scenario is a close seat count.” Brunswick News asked five political watchers for the five ridings to watch over the next month leading up to the Sept. 24 vote. By no means was there a consensus. There were 14 different ridings that at least one expert included in their top five list of battlegrounds that could go one way or another. “Right now, based on the regional trends, it’s really hard to call,” MQO Research polling firm vice president Stephen Moore said. Six ridings received multiple votes. The list is heavy with Moncton and Fredericton ridings. 20 août 2018 – Telegraph Journal Meanwhile, a Saint John riding and another in the province’s northeast were cited the most as runoffs that could make or break the election for the Liberals or the Progressive Conservatives. Gabriel Arsenault, political science professor at l’Université de Moncton 1. Saint John Harbour: “It was tight last time and (incumbent MLA Ed) Doherty screwed up, so I’m putting my bets on the Tories,” Arsenault said. The Progressive Conservatives called on Doherty, the former minister in charge of Service New Brunswick, to resign amid last year’s property tax assessment fiasco.

  • Prince Edward Island
    AIMS 4TH ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL REPORT CARD (RC4) New Brunswick Anglophone High Schools In our efforts to expand the comprehensiveness of the school report cards, we have an additional dimension in our framework this year: school-assigned grades in math and language arts. As New Brunswick (regrettably) has phased out the use of standardized testing for the Anglophone high schools, future Report Cards will see this breadth of data decline. That change is already having an impact in this Report Card, as insufficient data is available for several schools on the last round of examinations, forcing us to leave them out of the final overall rankings for the first time; Moncton High School and Sir James Dunn Academy being just two examples. Harvey High School earned the highest grade (B+) among the New Brunswick Anglophone schools. Harvey High did particularly well on the contextually adjusted scores, earning an A. Fredericton High School had the province’s second-highest ranking, earning a B. Several schools made considerable improvements over the past year, including Dalhousie Regional High School, Sussex Regional High School, Oromocto High School, John Caldwell School and J.M.A. Armstrong/Salisbury Middle School, which all improved from a C+ to a B, and Southern Victoria High School, which improved from a D to a C. Several schools declined in performance over the past year. Notably, Saint John High School fell from a B+ to a B; Cambridge-Narrows School fell from a B+ to a C+; and Sugarloaf Senior High School fell from a B to C+ as did Tantramar Regional High School, Riverview High School, and North & South Esk Regional High School.

  • Section 2.1 and Is Unchanged for the Purposes of This Assessment
    ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) REPORT: FUNDY ISLES SUBMARINE CABLES REPLACEMENT PROJECT, NEW BRUNSWICK Assessment of Environmental Effects on Water Resources 8.0 ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON WATER RESOURCES The water resources VC has been included as a VC due to its importance as a potable water resource and other human uses. In this assessment, water resources includes both groundwater and surface water available for human use. More than 75% of the population of New Brunswick relies on groundwater as a source of drinking water (Statistics Canada 2010), including all the residents of the Fundy Isles; the remainder of the New Brunswick population relies on surface water supplies for drinking water. Groundwater from drilled or screened wells is used for domestic, commercial, institutional, and industrial purposes. Groundwater is most often preferred over surface water as a source of drinking water because, unlike surface water, it can generally be used with little to no treatment to allow for its safe use as a potable water source. Water resources also interact with other VCs such as aquatic resources and wetlands. 8.1 REGULATORY AND POLICY SETTING The Province of New Brunswick has legislation in place to manage and protect water resources (both surface water and groundwater), including the Clean Water Act and the Clean Environment Act. Specific regulations under these acts that relate to the protection of water resources include the Watershed Protected Area Designation Order—Clean Water Act, the Wellfield Protected Areas Designation Order– Clean Water Act, the Water Well Regulation–Clean Water Act, and the Potable Water Regulation–Clean Water Act.

  • Grand Manan Geology – Back of the Island
    Grand Manan Geology – Back of the Island Greg McHone, Geologist North Head, Grand Manan, NB Grand Manan has a “split personality” regarding its physical geology. The western 2/3 of the island shows thick lava flows of Early Mesozoic ages, which are little changed from when they cooled at the end of the Triassic Period. This Grand Manan Basalt is part of the enormous “flood basalt” that underlies most of the Bay of Fundy, and which erupted 201 million years (m.y.) ago. The basalt is made up of three sections, called members, described below. Beneath the lava is the Sloop Cove Formation, a fine-grained Triassic mudstone that collected in a wide valley or basin with shallow lakes, where the Bay of Fundy is today. The Mesozoic formations rest upon a surface of metamorphic rocks, dated from 618 to 535 million years old. These ancient formations are exposed along the shore between North Head and Red Point, and also in the smaller islands. The two groups are side by side because of two km of vertical movement along a great fault that runs from Red Point northward to Whale Cove, southward between Grand Manan and Wood Island, and far out beneath the sea in both directions. See the geologic map in this summary for locations. The western shore or “back of the island” has spectacular exposures of the Grand Manan Basalt and Sloop Cove sedimentary rocks. You can see them best from a boat, or with some effort hike to them on the red trails and along the boulder beaches.
