Caraquet's Festivin Is Bigger Than Ever NEWS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CARAQUET’S FESTIVIN IS BIGGER THAN EVER Caraquet, Tuesday, May 2, 2017 – The FestiVin in Caraquet released the full schedule for its 21st edition this morning. There are lots of new things on the schedule, and the organizing committee was very happy to announce that fine cuisine evenings will be hosted throughout the Acadian Peninsula. Caraquet, Paquetville, Lamèque, Shippagan and Tracadie will host these evenings, which are highly popular among devotees of wine and culinary adventures. CHAMPAGNE ! People who adore champagne will be in for a treat during the GALA event, as none other than Guénaël Revel, Monsieur Bulles himself, will present Moët and Chandon champagnes to accompany a gourmet meal prepared by Chef Benjamin Cormier and Michel Savoie, the owner of renowned res- taurant Les Brumes du Coude in Moncton. WHO IS MONSIEUR BULLES ? Teacher, author, radio and television host in Montréal, Guénaël Revel is the author of the Guide Revel des champagnes et autres bulles (Revel’s guide to champagnes and other sparkling wines), the only French-language work dedicated to all sparkling wines. He has already written three books on champagne, and then in 2009, he co-wrote and co-hosted the only television show that focused on the king of wines: Champagne!, on the Quebec channel Évasion. A historian and sommelier by training, he moved to Quebec in 1995 and worked as a sommelier is several Montréal establishments. ON THE SCHEDULE… One thing is for certain: the full schedule for the 21st edition of Caraquet’s FestiVin has something for everyone! Whether it’s an evening with Sébastien Roy from the famous Distillerie Fils du Roy, at the Pub St-Joseph, Old World wines presented by Mario Griffin at the Panaché Resto-Pub-Terrasse, a foray into the Land of the Rising Sun with the Mitchan Sushi team and the wines of Terra Firma, or even a seminar lunch with Nicholas Parisi and the wines from Pelee Island; all these places in Caraquet will be showcased during the week before the Grand Tastings. To these can be added other restaurant owners from the Acadian Peninsula to round out the schedule in a delicious way. The Kabernet Gourmet-Pub in Lamèque will host guests for an evening of country-style cooking with Mario Griffin, who will present 150 gems of Canadian wine to highlight the 150th anniversary of our country. Chef Benjamin Cormier, from the restaurant Les Brumes du Coude in Moncton, will be the guest along with Sommelière Sonia Jalbert at the Pinokkio Pizzeria-Resto-Bar in Shippagan for an evening of Italian cuisine. A duel between beer and wine will be fought at the Bistro Le Crépuscule in Tracadie, with comments by Robert Noël, an elite Canadian sommelier. The Nuovo Caveau in Paquetville is also back this year for an evening of fine dining with New Brunswick Chef Jonathan Morrison, and Sommelier Jean-Philippe Turgeon will present wines from Gérard Bertrand Wineries. There is plenty to whet the appetite and tempt the senses! All details on the schedule are available at www.festivincaraquet.ca THAT’S NOT ALL! Naturally, the FestiVin will conclude with the Grand Tastings, which will take place on June 2–3, 2017, in the Caisse populaire Acadie room of the Carrefour de la Mer. People who have tickets for Friday night will be able to take part in a free seminar on port with Guénaël Revel (Monsieur Bulles) and end with an evening of music with Adam and Martin Robichaud at the Cave à vin at no additional cost. Another new feature this year: people will be able to get a ticket for the seminar on Saturday afternoon with eminent sommelier Robert Noël, where the Chardonnay from the Chablis region will be showcased. For $53 (fees included), guests will be able to attend this seminar and also participate in the Grand Tasting on Saturday afternoon, which all starts at 1:00 p.m. The regular cost of $27 (fees included) for this Grand Tasting in the afternoon also gives access to a free seminar on champagnes with Guénaël Revel, as well as a workshop with Marie-Claude Dilillo on the new reality show Foodies and how to incorporate wine in everyday life. Tickets are still available through Billetterie Accès.

  • 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.

  • Modelling Coastal Processes at Shippagan Gully Inlet, New Brunswick, Canada
    4th Specialty Conference on Coastal, Estuary and Offshore Engineering 4e Conférence spécialisée sur l’ingénierie côtière et en milieu maritime Montréal, Québec May 29 to June 1, 2013 / 29 mai au 1 juin 2013 MODELLING COASTAL PROCESSES AT SHIPPAGAN GULLY INLET, NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA A. Cornett1, M. Provan2, I. Nistor3, A. Drouin4 1 Leader, Marine Infrastructure Program, National Research Council, Ottawa, Canada 2 Graduate Student, Dept. of Civil Engineering, University of Ottawa, Canada 3 Associate Professor, Dept. of Civil Engineering, University of Ottawa, Canada 4 Senior Engineer, Public Works and Government Services Canada, Quebec, Canada Abstract: This paper describes the development, calibration and application of a numerical model of the hydrodynamic and sedimentary processes at a dynamic tidal inlet known as Shippagan Gully, located on the Gulf of St-Lawrence near Le Goulet, New Brunswick. The new model has been developed to provide guidance concerning the response of the inlet mouth to various potential interventions aimed at increasing navigation safety. The new model is based on coupling the most recent CMS-Flow and CMS- Wave models developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The coupled model is capable of simulating the depth-averaged currents generated within Shippagan Gully and along the neighbouring coastline due to the effects of tides, winds and waves; the transport of non-cohesive sediments; and the resulting changes in seabed morphology. The development of the model and the steps taken to calibrate and validate it against field measurements are described. The application of the model to predict the coastal processes and the response of the inlet mouth to several storms is described and discussed.

  • 1 Hydrodynamic and Morphologic Modeling Of
    HYDRODYNAMIC AND MORPHOLOGIC MODELING OF ALTERNATIVE DESIGN SCENARIOS FOR SHIPPAGAN GULLY, NEW BRUNSWICK CANADA Mitchel Provan1, Ioan Nistor2, Andrew Cornett3 and Alain Drouin4 This paper describes a comprehensive study comprising field measurements and numerical modeling of hydrodynamic and sedimentary processes undertaken to help assess alternative engineering measures for promoting and maintaining a stable and safe navigation channel through a dynamic tidal inlet. Shippagan Gully is a dynamic tidal inlet located on the Gulf of St-Lawrence near Le Goulet, New Brunswick, Canada. The tidal lagoon transects the Acadian Peninsula, hence the flows through the inlet are controlled by the tidal phase lag between the two open boundaries. Due to the nature of this phase lag, the ebb flows through Shippagan Gully, which regularly exceed 2 m/s, are typically twice as strong as the flood flows. As a consequence of this imbalance, the hydrodynamic and sedimentary processes at the inlet, and the morphologic features produced by these processes, are strongly dominated by the ebb flows. Over the past decades, shipping activities through Shippagan Gully have been threatened due to sediment deposition along the east side of the inlet which has caused the channel to narrow and shift westward. The objective of the present study was to develop an improved numerical model of the hydrodynamic and sedimentary processes at Shippahan Gully, and then apply the model to assess different engineering interventions for stabilizing the inlet and improving navigation safety. Keywords: tidal inlet, sediment transport, morphological modeling, coastal structures INTRODUCTION Shippagan Gully is a narrow channel at the mouth of a dynamic tidal inlet located on the Gulf of Saint Lawrence near the Le Goulet village, New Brunswick, Canada (see Error!

  • The Royal Canadian Legion New Brunswick Command
    The Royal Canadian Legion New Brunswick Command Track & Field Overview and History 1975 - Present Introduction: This document is an attempt to record the history of the Royal Canadian Legion’s involvement with track and field in New Brunswick. The Legion National Youth Track & Field Championships are Canada’s premier and only nationwide competition for youth track and field athletes from across the country. The championships are truly national in scale as the Legion supports teams from all provinces and territories in Canada. The national program began in 1975 as a weekend training camp with only four (4) provincial Legion Commands participating. In 1976, the weekend training camp was held again with athletes from six (6) Commands taking part. In 1977 the first week long camp and national championships took place and this format continues today. New Brunswick Command has been involved in track and field since 1959. Before the start of the national program we held District and provincial track and field meets throughout the province. The large part of this document was prepared by Harold Nicholson. He was a member and Executive Officer of Hartland Legion Branch # 24; a longtime member and 22 year President of Athletics New Brunswick; a teacher; a coach; a Legion team chaperone; and a member of the Provincial Track & Field committee. In 2012 he was awarded the national “Investors Group Volunteer Sport Administrator of the Year Award” and in 2014 was posthumously inducted into the Athletics Canada Hall of Fame. On July 24, 1998 while working on a combined document of the New Brunswick Legion, Canada Games and Jeux de la Francophonie teams Harold wrote the following – “The following list of athletes and staff who have comprised the New Brunswick provincial teams since the inception of the Jeux du Canada / Canada Games in 1969 and the Royal Canadian Legion Age-Class Teams in 1977 is a small attempt to record a part of the history of our sport in this province.
