Riverfront Master Plan
The City of Moncton is currently working to develop a Riverfront Master Plan.
The goal of the plan is to capitalize on the unique natural setting of the Petitcodiac riverfront, while also capturing community, social, cultural, and economic opportunities to integrate the riverfront with the downtown and to cement the riverfront as an exceptional and signature City of Moncton experience and destination.
The Petitcodiac riverfront demonstrates tremendous opportunity. It has the potential to be a must-see destination and experience for Moncton residents and visitors alike.
While the park is already a valuable asset to the city, there is enormous potential to enhance the overall user experience and the impression it leaves on visitors to the city. Opportunities exist to create a more vibrant and inclusive environment by developing a more cohesive design that:
- connects riverfront spaces
- introduces new public amenities, recreation activities, and play areas for people of all ages
- addresses safety concerns
- plans for infrastructure improvements to accommodate a variety of events
Trail use is growing and there is more demand for green space and active transportation infrastructure in Moncton. The riverfront’s underutilized areas offer opportunities to create new places to meet, eat, play, and stay, enriching the park experience for all.
This planning exercise will consider:
- environmental stewardship and protection of the natural setting
- heritage
- Indigenous connections
- public and green spaces
- multi-generational users
- amenities
- recreational uses
- development opportunities
- event activation areas
- trail and infrastructure development
- integration with the downtown and built environment
The Riverfront Master Plan exercise will include ongoing opportunities for public engagement as we seek to understand how residents currently use the space and how they envision using it in the future.

From One River City to Another...and Another!
Winnipeg, Manitoba was the city I was born and raised in. For over 20 years, it was the only city I knew until I moved to Miramichi, New Brunswick (more on that later). Despite what you’ll often hear about the -40C winters and whatnot, there are some true gems in Winnipeg once you truly get to know the area. The Forks is one of those diamonds.
The Forks in Winnipeg is a vibrant, year-round destination where the Red and Assiniboine Rivers meet. It's a bustling hub that has played a significant role in shaping the downtown core of Winnipeg. The... Continue reading

The image posted doesn't show what happened that night , but what didn't happen- the tidal bore floodlights recently installed weren't coming on and I was emailing an individual at public works about the situation, which was....the lights weren't coming on 15 minutes before the Bore.
So the following text is a copy paste of my message to that individual at Public Works about the coincidence that turned the Bore into a real performance!
"I would like to tell you what happened friday night....
I was watching the bore arrival time and since you mentioned they are set to come... Continue reading
