Moncton is a city in the province of New Brunswick. It is found in the Petitcodiac River Valley, and it has been nicknamed “Hub City” because of its centralized location and the fact that it was a literal hub for both rail and land transportation. It has the largest population of any city in the province. At the 2021 census, the metropolitan population was around 157,000.
In addition to being important for transportation, distribution, and retail, a range of other industries help to make up the local economy. These include IT, insurance, technology, education, and healthcare. It has several hospitals, including The Moncton Hospital and Dr. George L. Dumont University Hospital Centre. It also features several colleges such as the University of Moncton, Crandall University, the University of New Brunswick, and McKenzie College.
What You Can See and Do in Moncton
Residents of Moncton will find some great things to see and do right in and around the town. Magnetic Hill is a weird but fun spot. It’s just a portion of the road near Route 126 and Route 2, but the draw is that it features an optical illusion that makes things appear to be rolling uphill when they are actually going downhill. It’s worth checking out at least once or twice.
Magic Mountain is a water park that’s part of the Magnetic Hill site popular with tourists and locals. The water park is the largest man-made tourist attraction in Atlantic Canada, and it is a fantastic place to head to during a hot summer day. You will find a lazy river, along with plenty of slides and a wave pool.
Some of the other spots to visit include New Brunswick Casino, Centennial Park, and the Acadian Museum.
