AtlanticNewsItaly wins World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship in FrederictonBy Nick MoorePublished: May 03, 2025 at 7:04PM EDT Twitter feed ©2025 BellMedia All Rights Reserved Heather Fyffe was only 12 when she first joined the Fredericton City Concert and Marching Band in 1985 she played for the band until she left to study music at Acadia University in 1991 Subscribe now to read the latest news in your city and across Canada Create an account or sign in to keep reading Create an account or sign in to continue with your reading experience Don't have an account?

Browse here. The band plans to host a public concert May 13 at Fredericton High School. Fyffe said some of the songs will be from 1975, the year the band was formed, such as a medley of the musical Chicago and the movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and a rendition of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody. “I love the interplay and the connection of all the different sorts of people that we get in the band,” Fyffe said. “We have younger people and older people, but we have people from all walks of life.” Over the years, the band has played concerts for dignitaries, the local Santa Claus parade, and the city’s Remembrance Day ceremonies. For Janet Mullin, who’s been part of the band since 1980, her favourite moment was when the band decided to do a recording at Morris Music in Sussex for the province’s bicentennial.. “It took us all day. We somehow managed to squeeze this enormous band into Gary’s (Morris) studio, which was not built for a 40-piece band,” said Mullin. “We were just sitting with our jaws on the floor, ‘That was us?’ We couldn’t believe it.” Mullin, 61, has been part of the band for most of its existence, including spending time on the band’s executive team. Over the years, she’s played the tenor saxophone, the clarinet and now the trombone. But one thing that’s remained constant is the number of people in the city who love music and want to play and perform together. “It doesn’t matter where you are when you first come in the door, what matters is what you make of it,” said Mullin. transmission or republication strictly prohibited This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

Apologies, Mineral Capital of Canada. Ironically, Bancroft was ranked the best place to buy real estate back in 2021 but a positive discounted by the town's low average income of $52,800 (the lowest on the list) and its year-over-year growth rate of just 3% New Brunswick nabbed a value score of 3.74 for its average home price of $310,925 gained popularity largely for its profound affordability which created ideal conditions for sellers with multiple offers situations being commonplace Home values in Fredricton are only expected to continue rising in 2025 thanks to relatively few listings and continued demand and the westerly city earned a value score of 3.69 Homes in the Alberta metropolis are pricer than our Maritime winner but Calgary has also continued to see healthy growth rates of 8% outstripping other major urban centres like the GTA and Edmonton are all expected to continue seeing the most substantial housing market growth in 2025 with home prices already having increased by 9% year over year in January in all of these markets The most marked growth being in urban centres outside of Vancouver and Toronto speaks to the recent stagnation of home prices in these pricier cities while historically less popular (and more affordable) markets picked up the slack “Due to home prices maintaining relative stability in our most populated cities home buyers are continuing to recognize the value in less saturated markets they are being viewed as new real estate hotspots,” explained Carrie Lysenko Chief Executive Officer of Zoocasa in a press release “While the core areas of Toronto and Vancouver represent a significant portion of national home sales we continue to witness a notable shift in interest as people re-evaluate their living situations and the costs associated with urban life that began in earnest during the pandemic.” With almost 200 volunteers and members of the local curling community putting their shoulders to the wheel presenting the 2025 World Mixed Doubles and Senior Curling Championships to the world is a pretty big deal and everywhere seems much busier than it would have been if the curling circuit hadn’t come to town this isn’t the first time Fredericton has played host to a World Curling event Fredericton has held many major national curling competitions and was home to these two world championships in 2013 a surprising number of people who were involved in 2013 have stepped up again this time round Perhaps chief among them is Local Organising Committee (LOC) Chair Wayne Tallon who carried out the same role back in 2013 “The reason why we do this is the love for the sport I’ve been fortunate to have played the game at a high level and won a world championship myself so I decided that once my competitive career was over When asked to highlight any differences between then and now “The difference is that it’s an Olympic qualifier as well as a world championship and that elevates the profile of the event itself We have basically the same number of teams — 60 back in 2013 and 67 here.” one of the attractions that is bringing local fans through the doors is obvious “The calibre of the curling itself is just tremendous but the City of Fredericton has a strong nucleus of curling fans they really love to come out and watch it.” “Another difference now is the working relationship we have with World Curling.” “It’s still a lot of fun — maybe not all the time to be able to respond to those challenges.” Wayne’s right-hand women is LOC Co-Chair Jaime Watson She was involved in 2013 too — as a volunteer working with the media then — but she now has a larger role Jaime is clear about the benefits an event like this can bring to the community “I know our club is full and most of the clubs in this area are full and that’s partly because of us having these events here seeing all these people walking through those doors and saying ‘I want to try that’ — speaking as a manager of a curling club One of the features of the championship has been the attendance at morning sessions by young local school children and that programme has been Jaime’s responsibility “We had 750 students this morning because of Jaime’s student programme.” and they then learn all about that country — where it is If you look at the team rosters then and now there is only one team that has been in Fredericton twice for the World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship — Norway’s Kristin Skaslien and Magnus Nedregotten and we figured that this mixed doubles discipline was interesting — that’s one of the things that brought us together.” When asked to compare the difference he said “This was our first international competition now it’s different — now you have professional teams World Curling’s Scott Arnold is another who was in Fredericton in 2013 — as Technical Delegate and now the athletes are much more professional now as well And we were just trying to establish the sport at that time.” Perhaps he put his finger on the changes when he said “This is a grown-up version of the sport now.” Manager of Tourism for the City of Fredericton represented the local authority at the Opening Ceremony It also shows that our city can hold this calibre of events.” “Seeing a facility like this transformed is eye-opening There’s a lot of excitement — we’re a community that wants to see these events in the city.  We are a small community of 70,000 We’re a small city that punches well above its weight Whenever we host something like a sports event or a major conference The City has supported the event financially but Stacey is confident that investment will be returned many times in terms of the economic benefits but the impact will be definitely over $1 million CAD.” it looks like Fredericton has honed a successful hosting model so when asked to give advice to any other community that is thinking of doing something similar Wayne said “Attract the most talented people who could possibly help you That’s one of the ingredients of the recipe People with skills and obviously the passion.” the experience the organising committee have the experience the fans have is like nothing else The legacy that’s left behind from an event like this is tremendous but what’s left behind after an event like this is priceless.” Wayne and Jaime are as one — “in a heartbeat” Perhaps this time it won’t be a 12-year wait before the World Curling

Zebra Mussels in Fredericton. An adult Zebra Mussel a highly invasive freshwater species that attaches to hard surfaces was confirmed in the Mactaquac Headpond in December 2024 and experts expect they will soon reach Fredericton. While their spread into the area cannot be prevented entirely the City has developed a comprehensive response plan to help slow their advance and minimize impacts to infrastructure and recreational spaces.Developed in collaboration with the NB Invasive Species Council (NBISC) and with information from the Government of New Brunswick and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) the City’s working response plan outlines key actions to protect the City’s aquatic assets and promote community awareness.“Our focus is on prevention and preparedness,” said Councillor Kevin Darrah Chair of the City’s Environmental Stewardship Committee “We’re committed to protecting our infrastructure and recreational spaces while keeping the public informed and engaged as the situation evolves.”Understanding the RisksZebra Mussels are known to disrupt local ecosystems and public-use infrastructure like docks and beaches. Top identified risks include:•    Spread to other bodies of water by recreational motorized and non-motorized watercraft.•    Changes to river ecosystems and higher risk of spreading other invasive species.•    Clogged storm sewer outflows increasing maintenance needs and flood risk.•    Colonization of docks and shorelines.Planned ActionsThe City’s response is currently focused on two initial stages: public education and inspection of critical infrastructure and maintenance activities will follow once adult mussels are confirmed in Fredericton waters.Key response initiatives include:•    Regular Invasive Species Working Group meetings to guide implementation.•    Funding applications to support response.•    Partnerships with NBISC and other stakeholders to promote Clean Dry practices.•    Public education campaigns via signage and digital platforms.•    Training for summer staff with onboarding modules added in 2025.•    Mobile boat wash stations at large events and ongoing feasibility research for permanent solutions.Infrastructure Inspection & MonitoringTo safeguard municipal assets the City will:•    Routinely monitor in-river pipes for early signs of colonization.•    Conduct risk assessments to identify and prioritize at-risk infrastructure.•    Develop inspection and maintenance schedules and determine related costs “Our goal is to stay ahead of this issue,” added Jillian Hudgins Environmental Strategist & Program Manager we can reduce long-term costs and maintain the integrity of our recreational spaces and infrastructure.” Residents can expect to see educational signage at boat launches and Killarney Lake this year, and you can find Zebra Mussel information online at www.fredericton.ca.

And what’s in the way of home building in Canada is government,” Macdonald said. That theme, of government “getting out of the way,” was one Macdonald returned to several times. When asked about how a Conservative government would accelerate urban development, Macdonald began his reply by noting that “I do believe the government needs to get out of the way.” He did it a third time when the candidates were asked about how their party’s government would grow the “knowledge economy.” Drawing on his experience as a businessman, Macdonald complained that many sectors are highly regulated. “One of the things we need to do to encourage growth …  (is to reduce) red tape, reduction in bureaucracy,” he said, also advocating for tax cuts to help businesses grow. That’s when Myles chose to hit back, and used the business tech venue to make his argument. “You know, this is one of those things where I’m not sure anybody in this room or in the tech sector … in Fredericton would say the government should get out of the way,” Myles said. “Would it exist if the government got out of the way, if it wasn’t for the fact that government worked with private industry? It was a partnership. “I haven’t been reading about this for very long, but I have looked into it enough to know that public money was invested in all of this. This was a plan that was built out for a long time. Government can do things that private industry won’t do. It’s not to say that you don’t need both. You want a thriving private sector.” Allen-LeBlanc, meanwhile, accused both big parties of making “reckless and irresponsible decisions for a very long time now, and I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of it.” “Our kids don’t have the same opportunities that we had,” Allen-LeBlanc said. “We are pumping billions of dollars into foreign-owned oil and gas corporations, large corporations. Well, your tax rate has not been lowered. Consecutive Conservative and Liberal governments have favoured their friends in the large corporations, and we have tax loopholes for billionaires that have to be closed.” Lyons-Macfarlane’s best moment came shortly after Macdonald said a Conservative government will move harm reduction clinics, which he said he calls “harm multiplication clinics,” away from core city areas. “We’re going to make sure that those clinics are not near schools, they’re not near parks, and we’re also going to make sure that there’s care available for people that are suffering from addiction,” Macdonald said. “Shutting down safe injection sites isn’t going to solve anything,” Lyons-Macfarlane told Macdonald. “We cannot force people into addictions treatment. It is a collaborative effort. It’s mental health care. It is physical health care.” Fredericton has edged past the $350 million mark for building permits in 2024 -- the fourth year in a row New Brunswick’s capital has reached record levels. The City issued building permits for new construction valued at $354.7 million in 2024 surpassing the five-year average of $245 million and up almost $90 million from 2023 Development was strong across all sectors: •    New residential developments were valued at $136 million•    Commercial developments were valued at $46.3 million•    Institutional and government construction was valued at $91 million New population projections estimate Fredericton’s population at more than 77,000 people an increase of more than 3,100 over the past year Fredericton’s booming population is the result of its strong employment growth To support the region’s rapidly growing population the City approved 613 new housing units for construction within the city in 2024 Higher density forms of residential development make up more than 75 per cent of total housing construction with the building of another 470 new townhouse and apartment units starting in 2024. Fredericton is making significant progress in encouraging more affordable housing as the City moves into its third year of implementing the Fredericton Affordable Housing Strategy Building permits for 122 affordable housing units including 58 deeply affordable units were issued in 2024  The City is leveraging federal funding from the Housing Accelerator Fund to invest in growth-related infrastructure and encourage the development of more affordable housing Recent data indicates that total employment in the Fredericton metropolitan area is up more than 3.5 per cent in 2024 The City has recorded a jump in commercial activity as new businesses pop up all over the city with the highest levels of commercial construction recorded since 2019 “Fredericton drives innovation and entrepreneurship attracting talent and investment from around the world Fredericton’s knowledge economy creates opportunities to commercialize research Director of Planning and Development at the City of Fredericton “This growth has fueled expansion in other sectors including construction and retail services.”2025 is expected to be another strong year for construction activity in Fredericton The City’s development aligns closely with the vision and goals set out in its Growth Strategy and Municipal Plan  Development is thriving in the north side growth areas and the southwest growth node A significant area of focus for this year will be the need to develop a new southeast growth node in the Doak Road area for future housing.“Fredericton continues to be one of Canada’s most successful and livable cities,” said Coun Chair of the City’s Economic Vitality Committee “City Council has carefully planned for our growth We’re focused on building more densely and sustainably all while making sure Fredericton keeps its charm.” The City of Fredericton

parks the City produced 8,000 cubic metres of topsoil from yard waste That number has since jumped to 14,000 cubic metres so far this year “This Facility has grown into a much-needed resource in the community,” said Jillian Hudgins, Environmental Strategist with the City of Fredericton “The continued investment in this facility highlights Fredericton’s dedication to providing valuable services to residents while promoting environmental stewardship.” The 24/7 service will operate seasonally between May and October the Facility will also acquire two large bins to streamline the process and make it easier for residents to navigate One bin will be directed for brush and another will be used for organics There will also be updated signage to provide clear instructions “The Soil Management Facility is the perfect example of how urban infrastructure can evolve to meet the needs of a growing community while promoting sustainability and reducing environmental impact,” said Coun The Beek

the City has advanced key actions to help meet its goal of reducing emissions by 50 per cent by 2030 and attain net-zero emissions by 2050 from both the community as whole and its municipal operations the City has invested an average of $18 million in climate change related projects and operations over the last three years Here’s what the City has done to meet these goals so far:  Energy-efficient buildings and flood resistant infrastructure:  The City has reduced emissions from municipal operations by 29 per cent – well on track to meeting our 2030 goal.  Emissions per person in the community are also down 38 per cent a testament to the investment residents are making in home energy efficiency the community has been challenged to reduce its overall emissions which are down by only three per cent since 2000.  Environmental Strategist with the City of Fredericton said the City is working hard to combat climate change But the municipality needs more support from federal and provincial governments and other community stakeholders The City also faces regulatory limitations and resource constraints “Fredericton has been diligent in reducing its energy use and emissions However, bold action is still needed in our community to overcome barriers related to transportation emissions,” said Hudgins The City will continue to address climate change next year by engaging with the local business community about its Community Energy and Emissions Plan and educating more residents on home energy savings Fredericton Transit is aiming to bump service to every half-hour instead of every
