He testified on Monday that he spoke to someone with the Parole Board of Canada who said the two men were staying at Correctional Service Canada’s Parrtown Community Correctional Centre in Saint John. Saint John Police Const. Alexander Joudrey testified the department received notice that an apprehension and suspension warrant had been issued for Smith-Kingsley, which is a warrant issued when an offender is believed to have breached a condition of parole or statutory release. Joudrey said several police officers went to the residence around 4 a.m. on June 26 and found Smith-Kingsley in his room. He was arrested and items were seized including clothing, sneakers and a cell phone. Const. Robert Chesser, who works in the Saint John Police’s forensic identification section, said he had been notified just before 2:30 a.m. that the RCMP wanted them to take a gunshot residue sample from Smith-Kingsley during his arrest. He travelled to the Parrtown residence with the other officers at 4 a.m. and waited while they arrested the suspect. Smith-Kingsley was then brought to him, hands restrained behind his back, and Chesser swabbed both of the prisoner’s hands. Chesser said the items seized at Parrtown included a pair of sneakers that were in the hallway of the residence on boxes marked “Kingsley.” The constable said the footwear appeared to have been recently washed and were set out to dry, with the soles removed and the shoes pulled open to dry the inside. Smith-Kingsley was taken to the Saint John Police station where he spoke to duty counsel and was later brought to the Saint John jail. According to information released by the RCMP a few weeks later, he was arrested again on July 19, 2023, at the Atlantic Institution in Renous and charged with murder the following day. RCMP Const. Eric Cormier testified he traveled from Fredericton to Saint John on June 26 and viewed the video surveillance at Parrtown and saw that Smith-Kingsley left the residence at 11:55 a.m. on June 25 and was dropped off by a car at 11:44 p.m. that same day. Cormier said Brandon LeBlanc and Adam Robichaud were also arrested and in custody on June 26 and a car seized as part of the investigation, which the constable said looks like the car that dropped off Smith-Kingsley just before midnight, was searched and a black face mask, a black and white bandana and gardening gloves were found inside. Brandon Patrick LeBlanc, 30, and Adam Christian Robichaud, 42, both of Saint John, are charged with manslaughter, using a handgun to rob Wright and masking their faces to commit an offence. They will stand trial over four weeks starting Sept 2. All three men had originally been charged with first-degree murder but the charges were reduced as the case moved forward. transmission or republication strictly prohibited This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

Moncton-Dieppe Liberal MP Ginette Petitpas Taylor won her fourth mandate Monday night defeating Conservative newcomer Jocelyn Dionne “It’s a feeling that never gets old,” Petitpas Taylor said while celebrating with approximately 100 people at the Moncton Press Club She was declared a winner early in the evening Petitpas Taylor received 28,724 votes (63 per cent) over Dionne’s 14,268 (31.3 per cent) NDP candidate Serge Landry received 1,730 votes or 3.8 per cent Green Party candidate Marshall Dunn received 892 votes or two per cent “This was my fourth election and I’m always very nervous but when you get the news that you’ve been declared the winner it’s a great feeling for my volunteers,” she said noting that her husband Brock has been a rock of support throughout her political career Among those cheering were Moncton MLAs Rob McKee and Claire Johnson who served in the provincial government of Frank McKenna The next issue of Morning Email Times & Transcript will soon be in your inbox In the past, Petitpas Taylor had served in the Moncton-Riverview-Dieppe riding, but that changed in this election as Riverview became part of the Fundy-Royal riding. Petitpas Taylor has served in several cabinet positions, including as minister of health and minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency. Her latest cabinet position was president of the Federal Treasury Board. But despite the busy cabinet positions, Petitpas Taylor said she is known as an accessible member of Parliament. “I think at this point in time people want to make sure that we have steady hands-on-the-wheel members of Parliament with experience,” she said. Questioned about her greatest accomplishments, she said being accessible was her proudest. She worked to secure federal funding for infrastructure projects, was health minister during the legalization of cannabis and the renewed Canada Food Guide, oversaw the modernization of the Official Languages Act and overseeing the Finance Department. “I’ve been fortunate to working on many important portfolios and I’m very proud of the track record that I have,” she said. Petitpas Taylor said she met many people on the campaign trail who were upset and concerned about U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims that Canada should become the 51st state, and how tariffs could affect consumers here in Atlantic Canada. “We will make sure that we are properly prepared and strong to answer to the challenges that are coming from U.S. President Donald Trump, and Mark Carney is the man for the job,” she said while watching the results come in. Conservative candidate Jocelyn Dionne called Petitpas Taylor around 9:30 p.m. to concede the election. “This election is done, but there is always the next one,” Dionne told supporters at his campaign headquarters. “You always have to rebuild.” Dionne told Brunswick News that the “Trump factor” was one of the things that impacted the Monday night results. “Unfortunately, people voted with fear,” he said. “Another country affecting our country’s election is sad.” Additionally, he pointed out the redrawn electoral boundaries that removed Riverview from the riding, as well as the riding’s history as a Liberal stronghold. When the rookie Conservative candidate was asked if he would consider another political run, he said it is too early to say, but he noted he will stay involved politically. “I do love politics and I care for my country,” he said. In Fundy Royal, Conservative incumbent Rob Moore held on to the seat, holding off a challenge from Liberal candidate Bill Kudla. With all 179 polls reporting, Moore got 25,411 votes (53.4 per cent), over Kudla’s 19,102 (40.1 per cent). The NDP’s Cindy Andrie finished third with 1,507 votes (3.2 per cent), followed by the Green Party’s Hans Johnsen with 961 votes (2.0 per cent) and the People’s Party’s Alastair MacFarlane with 629 votes (1.3 per cent). Moore told his crowd of supporters gathered in Sussex, including MLAs Tammy Scott-Wallace and Bill Oliver, that his win was a team effort, comparing it to the teams playing in the NHL playoffs. “No matter how good they are, they can’t do it on their own,” said Moore. “The captain of our team for the volunteers and the workers for the last three elections has been Harley Tingley. You know when you have three wins what’s that called – that’s a hat-trick.” Speaking with Brunswick News, Moore said the Conservative Party’s discussion around the cost of living made an impact on voters. “People are struggling right now and it was Conservatives that were talking about permanently getting rid of the carbon tax, making life more affordable and helping people make ends meet,” he said. “I think that resonated with people.” Moore said without party leader Pierre Poilievre’s strong voice, “affordability wouldn’t have been on the table.” He said the Liberals copied the Tories’ policies. “I think policy-wise we’re bang on. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery,” he said. Kudla said he did better than anybody had hoped in a traditionally Conservative riding. “We reached out to a lot of people. I knocked on thousands of doors and all those interactions were good but of course it was a short election so we couldn’t get to everybody,” he said, speaking to Brunswick News at a gathering with supporters in Sussex. “I think if we had gotten to more people, we would have maybe had a different result.” Knocking on doors, Kudla said he heard concerns from women and members of the LGBTQ+ community and felt he was building momentum. “The results show that, because last time it was a blowout and it’s not a blowout (this year),” he said. Kudla said he felt he’d made up ground and built a bridge for a later election. “Next time, there may be different results,” he said. Asked if a visit to the riding by Liberal leader Mark Carney could have made a difference, Kudla said the party leader had a “much bigger job.” “He had to win Canada and save Canada from Donald Trump,” he said. Beauséjour MP Dominic LeBlanc was re-elected, with 34,424 or 60.1 per cent, over Conservative candidate Nathalie Vautour, who received 19,323 or 33.7 per cent, with all 221 polls reporting. The NDP’s Alex Gagne finished third with 1,401 (2.4 per cent), followed by the Green Party’s Josh Shaddick with 1,250 (2.2 per cent), the People’s Party’s Eddie Cornell with 483 (0.8 per cent) and Libertarian Donna Allen with 374 (0.7 per cent). “Think of the conversation we would have been having last fall and the conversation that we’re having tonight,” LeBlanc said, of the party’s turnaround in the polls. “It’s a very traditional result when the Liberals form a government,” LeBlanc said of the Liberals winning the majority of seats in the province. “If I think of the time when my dad was an MP in Pierre Trudeau’s government’s, if you think Mr. Chretien or Mr. Martin’s governments, with a few exceptions, is a traditional result in New Brunswick when the Liberals are in government.” – With files from Sarah Seeley, Payge Woodard and Adam Huras A new shuttle bus has been set up between Dieppe’s harbour and the train station creating a smoother journey for those taking the ferry between the UK and France has cut the journey – which could take more than an hour for people with heavy suitcases – to only a few minutes and allows passengers disembarking to travel in comfort on their onward journey.  The bus will run three times per day during the week to coincide with the arrival of ships docking at the harbour.  so we're making it easier for them to get around,” said Nicolas Langlois there was a response in England on the other side especially as we have a line that is developing that is doing well… we have more and more pedestrians on that line It had to be introduced before the summer,” he added In Newhaven – where ferry services departing Dieppe arrive – there are numerous buses taking passengers directly to the local train station the shuttle bus is only scheduled to run until December with more than 300,000 people catching a ferry between Dieppe and the UK each year it is likely the shuttle will be seen as useful for the economic infrastructure of the town.  but was discontinued a number of years ago.  “We've been campaigning for it for years and years and we've finally got [the shuttle],” said Pierre Marlin president of the Cross-Channel line users’ association (président de l'association d'usagers de la ligne Transmanche) and at the moment the shuttle doesn't stop at the tourist office,” he added but overall is happy with the renewal of the route.  Read more: Ferry travel UK to France: routes, prices and deals  Recent power cut in Spain and Portugal is warning to holidaymakers to ensure they are prepared for worst-case scenario Fears of a ‘black week’ on the network have been widely dismissed - although regional lines will see cancellations Workers say they lack support to properly do the job Media | Nova Scotia social workers calling for more resources Caption: Two Nova Scotia social workers are speaking out about what they call a crisis in child protection and are pushing for more government accountability.

Soldiers of the Essex and Kent Scottish Regiment have returned to the beaches of Dieppe in France to commemorate the liberation from German occupancy 80 years ago on Sept. 1, 1944.  The name Dieppe is sadly well-known in Essex and Kent County, and is associated with what is often ranked among the darkest days in Canadian military history - as it was there in 1942 that Canada suffered its greatest loss of lives on a single day.  Nearly 5,000 Canadians embarked on the operation where only 2,200 returned to England - with many of them wounded.  There were nearly 2,000 prisoners of war, and 916 Canadians lost their lives. Members of the Essex and Kent Scottish are in France to commemorate the liberation - despite the events of Dieppe.  Lieutenant-Colonel Gord Prentice, Commanding Officer with the Essex and Kent Scottish, says the day is to celebrate the liberation.  "The Essex and Kent Scottish pipes and drums will be leading, they're going to be followed by a flag party with the Canadian flag and the army ensign, and then a block of about 16 solider's parading as like the marching contingent, we're going to be followed by French naval reservists, and then the community of Dieppe is going to fall in behind us." He adds that the ceremony will include musical salutes, laying of wreaths, and an open air reception. -with files from AM800's Live & Local with Kyle Horner You don't have permission to access the page you requested.

Few Canadian communities felt the loss like Windsor A total of 553 members of Windsor’s Essex Scottish Regiment boarded ships in England for the assault on the Nazi-occupied French port Dozens of people gathered Monday at Dieppe Gardens on Windsor’s waterfront to commemorate the grim 82nd anniversary of the failed raid with a dynamic culture and its energetic people breathing monument to those members of The Essex Scottish Regiment,” said Honorary Lieut.-Col with what is now called The Essex and Kent Scottish Regiment “The ongoing existence of the French Republic and its commitment to liberty equality and fraternity is proof that the regiment’s honoured dead from the 19th of August gave their lives in the service of a just and noble cause.”  Monday’s solemn event at the Red Beach Memorial included a wreath-laying ceremony a small parade led by the Essex & Kent Pipes & Drums a reading from City of Windsor poet laureate Peter Hrastovec MP Irek Kusmierczyk (L — Windsor-Tecumseh) said Dieppe was “a battle that impacted our community like no other in Canada.”  “Dieppe is a testament to their bravery and sacrifice and our community’s lasting legacy of service,” he said we remember those soldiers who served and who sacrificed.”  The Essex Scottish Regiment landed on Red Beach at Dieppe as part of the 4th Canadian Division’s Operation JUBILEE The raid was the Allies’ first major attempt to breach Nazi Germany’s Atlantic Wall The Essex Scottish Regiment’s casualty rate had climbed to 75 per cent nine out of 10 members were dead or captured Bradley said she recently attended a graduation ceremony for new recruits and their proud families and was struck by how young many of them were much like those brave men who landed on the beach in 1942 “It was heartbreaking as I realized how parents friends would have had similar feelings of pride and fear as their loved ones joined the Essex Scottish at the outset of the Second World War,” she said “And how shattering the news of the raid and its failure and its many casualties would have been for the people of Windsor and Essex County in 1942.”  Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens said those sacrifices have not been forgotten in France Canadian flags still line the streets and promenades throughout Dieppe “Today they still highly respect and are so thankful for the efforts that the men of the Essex Scottish showed who went to Dieppe last year for the 81st anniversary of the raid “When I reflect on this particular day each and every year The residents of France and Dieppe certainly understand that connection.”  twilhelm@postmedia.com Speed Skating Canada March 24, 2025 | Events: National NEW BRUNSWICK – The community of Dieppe hosted 120 skaters from five different provinces at last weekend’s 2025 Canadian Youth Short Track Championships East presented by Intact Insurance which were held at the Arthur-J-LeBlanc Arena It marked the first time since 2007 that a national championship level event was hosted at the New Brunswick club The Canadian Youth Short Track Championships features skaters aged 11 to 13 and serves as an introduction for developing skaters to represent their province or territory on the national stage. Participants kicked off the competition Friday with a Camp Day featuring on ice and off ice activities led by volunteer coaches Skaters hit the ice Saturday and Sunday to compete for individual distance titles in the 400m while also taking part in relays and ability-based races amongst all age groups Finishing the competition ranked atop their respective categories were Raphaëlle Naud (Quebec while Prince Edward Island’s Olivia Zhang (13 Girls) won her provinces lone medal with bronze in the 400m In addition to podium performances, seven different athletes received True Sport Champion Awards in recognition of their commitment to bringing the True Sport Principles to life through their actions on and off the ice Speed Skating Alberta Speed Skating BC Speed Skating Manitoba Speed Skating New Brunswick Newfoundland and Labrador Speed Skating Association Speed Skating NWT Speed Skating Nova Scotia Nunavut Speed Skating Association Speed Skating Ontario Speed Skating PEI Speed Skating Quebec Speed Skating Saskatchewan Speed Skating Yukon August 19 marks the 75th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid The Allied offensive proved to be an ill-fated attempt to establish a foothold on continental Europe that was completely under control of the German army Of the 4,963 Canadians who embarked for the operation including 1,946 prisoners of war;

The federal government is providing the City of Dieppe with $7.2 million under the Housing Accelerator Fund to help create 220 housing units in the city over the next three years The funding was announced Thursday by Moncton-Riverview-Dieppe MP Ginette Petitpas Taylor and Dieppe Mayor Yvon Lapierre. They said the funding will help pave the way for 220 homes over the next three years and up to 3,700 units over the next decade. The $7 million announced Thursday for Dieppe is part of the $4.4-billion Housing Accelerator Fund launched by the federal government in March, 2023, which was increased by $400 million in the 2024 federal budget. Lapierre said the funding for Dieppe does not actually go toward building houses and apartments, but to the city to help pave the way for developers and homeowners to take advantage of the program. Petitpas Taylor said the funding is being used similarly in the City of Moncton, which also received funding under the federal program to speed up construction of new housing units to meet the demands of population growth. The Census Population Area of Moncton – which also includes Dieppe and Riverview – is the second-fastest growing CMA in Canada behind Calgary, according to Statistics Canada. New BrunswickNewsFederal government spending $7.2M on housing in Dieppe, N.B.By Derek HaggettPublished: February 20, 2025 at 5:07PM EST Twitter feed ©2025 BellMedia All Rights Reserved A coroner’s inquest will be held next month into a workplace death that occurred in Dieppe in 2023 The Department of Justice and Public Safety said in a news release on Wednesday that an inquest into the death of Jamie Harris will be happening at the Moncton courthouse Feb. 24-27. Harris died at the site of a water main break in Dieppe on Aug. 21, 2023 from injuries suffered during his work. “Deputy chief coroner Emily Caissy and a jury will publicly hear evidence from witnesses to determine the facts surrounding this death. The jury will have the opportunity to make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances,” said the department in the release.  Dieppe is celebrating the third annual Francophonie Week with music Denis LeBlanc, the city’s director of community development, said the events are a celebration of the language in the world’s largest Acadian city.  Partners for this year’s events are the Dieppe Public Library, Festival international du cinéma francophone en Acadie, Le Pays de la Sagouine, and the Dieppe Arts and Culture Center. Events include an international Francophonie book exhibition, an improv match, a comic strip workshop, and a live music and storytelling event with artists Laurie LeBlanc, Daniel Léger, and Émilie Landry.  “The three artists are going to be on stage at the same time and they’re going to have the opportunity to speak about their experience and why French music is important to them,” LeBlanc said.  Francophonie Week is part of the work to keep the French language alive in the region and ensure Francophones have access to cultural events in their own language.  “We want to make sure the city of Dieppe is ahead of the game in offering those types of activities in the French language,” LeBlanc said.  LeBlanc said they encourage everyone, even those who don’t speak French to attend events. He said a good entry point for non-French speakers is the movie screenings. The family film Katak: The Brave Beluga will be screened on March 16 at 2 p.m. at the Dieppe Arts and Culture Center.  On March 17 at 1 p.m. the culture centre will screen Trécarré and A Way of Being Together.  This year, LeBlanc said Dieppe residents have created a playlist of Francophone music. The Spotify list is a mix of old classics and more modern songs.

The store shares a new logo showing a red maple leaf on a blue background, which Duguay is consistent with other Superstores owned by Loblaws across Canada. To celebrate the opening, the store also announced donations of $2000 each to four local community organizations including Mathieu Martin High School, the New Brunswick Senior Citizens’ Federation/Fédération des Citoyen(ne)s Aîné(e)s du Nouveau-Brunswick, the Early Childhood Family Resource Centre of Westmorland-Albert and the Dieppe Soccer Club. The Atlantic Superstores have launched new special pricing on grocery items like pizzas and yogurt. These are marked with colourful signs with slogans like “Price Drop,” “Always $” and “Hit of the Month,” to “PCO Member Only,” “Hot Deals” and more. All Superstore locations have also returned to offering more frequent themed events on an ongoing basis, such as the current Marvel Trading Cards event. They have also adopted a Fresh Promise (If it’s not fresh, it’s free). The store will also offer the service of filling customer orders for both pickup and delivery. Customers can place orders online or by phone. The Superstores are part of Loblaw Companies Limited, a national retailer with 2,500 stores and national e-commerce options. Residents living in the former boundaries of Dieppe will see a 6.5 cent decrease in their tax rates this coming year while those living in the newly amalgamated part of the city will see a slight increase At the regular council meeting Monday night Dieppe council passed its $101.3-million operating budget for 2025 $85.3 million will go to the general operating budget and $16 million to the water and sewer budget The details of the budget had already been presented earlier this month Also adopted at Monday night’s meeting were the capital budgets: $41.5 million for the general capital budget and $10.7 million for the water and sewer capital budget The tax rate for those living in Dieppe’s former boundaries has dropped for the fourth year in a row The rates for those residents now stands at $1.3650 per $100 of assessment a decrease of 6.5 cents from the previous year said at the meeting the city decided to decrease its tax rate after a number of residents had talked last year about their worries of an increased property tax bill The reduction represents roughly $3.62 million in lost revenue, and Melanson said to be able to reduce the tax rate, Dieppe’s base budget, budget process and financial plan have been revised. “We were able to help residents while also respecting our obligations as a municipality,” he said. With the province’s local governance reform, the Greater Lakeburn and Scoudouc local service districts were added to the municipality. The city had said that in keeping with the catch-up plan governed by the province, the tax rate will be $0.6445 per $100 of assessment for residents of the former Greater Lakeburn LSD and $0.5677 for those of the former Scoudouc LSD, which would mean roughly a five cent increase for each of the two former LSDs, in addition to a second rate paid directly to the province for services that the latter continues to provide, like those related to roads. Mayor Yvon Lapierre said in a news release that tax reform will continue to be an issue in New Brunswick for years to come, and it must include a review of all responsibilities and the funding associated with them. He hopes it will be completed by the 2026 budget, which will enable Dieppe to better plan for its future. Property taxes, which total $77.3 million, are the largest source of the city’s revenue in its $85.3 million general operating budget. Roughly $400,000 comes from a community funding grant and $7.6 million comes from “other” revenue. The water and sewer bill will remain the same as it has been since 2020 at $948 annually. Several major road projects are planned for 2025, including the continued extension of Dieppe Boulevard, the reconstruction of Gauvin Road between Rue du Collège and Rue du Marché, Ste-Thérèse Street between Rue Paul and Acadie Avenue, Copp Street, a section of LeBlanc Road, the grading and paving of Champlain Street between Aviation Avenue and Lorette Street, and the construction of Trotteur Court. A number of other projects will also be carried out in 2025, like renovations to the Arthur-J.-LeBlanc arena, various water and sewer projects, the purchase of new buses, and the acquisition of land for future projects. Significant sums will be also dedicated to the RCMP and improving public transit. the Allied forces launched an amphibious attack on the Germans who had taken over the port of Dieppe in France the raid was a failure due to insufficient air and naval support tanks trapped on sandy shores and deadly German forces Of the 6,086 Allied soldiers who made it to the beach lead to invaluable lessons that contributed to the success of the D-Day landings in the future and some leaders even believed that these learnings outweighed the cost of the Dieppe failure Below are a series of Calgary Herald archived pages showing newspaper coverage of the Dieppe Raid and an article by author photojournalist and former Calgary Herald journalist David Bly from November 2005 Your weekday lunchtime roundup of curated links The next issue of Noon News Roundup will soon be in your inbox Calgary Herald Fri Nov 11 2005 Page: B4 Byline: David Bly Elly Raskin came back from the war twice lucky — he was alive, and when he got off the train near the Mewata Armoury, his English-born wife and young son were waiting for him. Elly and Marjorie Senior had met at a dance in London. The Prairie boy in his Calgary Tanks uniform was a handsome devil then, she admits. “He still is,” Marjorie said with a shy smile 63 years later. “It was love at first sight.” A month after they were married, Elly was crossing the channel as part of the Dieppe raid in August 1942. When the battle was over, nearly 1,400 Allied soldiers — 913 of them Canadian — were dead and more than 2,000 Allied soldiers, most Canadian, were taken prisoner. Elly’s landing craft was unable to make it through the congestion to the beach and had to turn back. But Marjorie didn’t know if he had been killed, captured or wounded. For three days, she met hospital trains, looking for him among the wounded. Finally, they reconnected, to her great relief. But they spent more time apart than together through the war years. When the Calgary Tanks were sent to the Italian front, Elly knew his first real fear of the war off the coast of Sicily. Born and raised in Rumsey, north of Drumheller, he hadn’t seen much deep water and didn’t know how to swim. “We had to go over the side on ropes to get to the landing craft,” he said. “That’s the first time I was scared — I thought I would go into the water.” Elly was assigned to transport, driving the trucks that carried munitions and supplies, and favourite targets of German gunners. He saw comrades die as shells struck. His closest call came near Ortona, when a shell fragment pierced his left leg to the bone. “I pulled it out and kept going,” he said. “I caught hell from the M.O. (medical officer) a few days later when he saw it, but I was never laid up.” In February 1945, the Calgary Tanks were sent from Italy to Belgium for the final push across Holland, where the Dutch poured out into the streets to welcome the Canadian liberators. Elly and Marjorie returned to Holland this spring for liberation commemorations and found the same warm welcome. One of those who thanked Elly was a woman who sat down at their table while the Raskins were at a reception at the royal palace near Apeldoorn. “She talked to us a while and then I asked her name,” said Elly. “She said, ‘I’m Princess Margriet.’ ” Margriet had a special connection to the Canadian vets — she was born in an Ottawa hospital after Canada gave refuge to the Dutch royal family during the war. After the war ended, Marjorie beat Elly to Canada, arriving in June 1945 with their son, Keith. Unlike many war brides, she was not shocked by the vast prairie or relatively primitive living conditions. She had known little other than city life, but Marjorie liked Alberta. Elly returned in September, getting off the train where it was stopped near the Mewata Armoury. Canadian troops went to Europe to fight for democracy, but that lofty thought was not generally on soldiers’ minds, said Elly, now 85. “It was something you had to do,” he said. “You just concentrated on your job and looked after your buddies.” But he said he knows now he fought to make the world a better place. “And it is better here in Canada,” he said. “It’s pretty bad in the Mideast and those places, but we have it good here.” For years, Elly, like most war veterans, didn’t talk much about the war, but in recent years the stories have been pouring out. It’s important to tell those stories, he said, and he does his part by volunteering at the Museum of the Regiments, telling students about the war and about his experiences. The museum, he said, will keep alive the memories after the veterans are gone, especially through its partnership with schools. “The kids are great,” he said. “They’ll remember.” Editor’s note: Elly Raskin passed away eight years after this story was first published at age 93. Marjorie Raskin passed away three years after first publication of this story.

It’s also an imperative for fast growing sustainable, progressive, forward-looking communities like Dieppe and Moncton,” said LeBlanc. Both Petitpas Taylor and LeBlanc pointed out the rapid growth of Moncton and Dieppe with Moncton being named the second fastest city in Canada, only behind Calgary. Moncton Mayor Dawn Arnold said Moncton’s transit ridership has grown 88 per cent between 2022 and 2024, and Jérémie Aubé, Dieppe’s director of urban mobility noted Dieppe’s ridership has grown about 90 per cent year over year for the last two years. “Here our buses are full in a way we’ve never seen before,” Arnold said, adding residents rely on having a reliable transit system for their commutes to work, appointments, and school. There are 42 buses in Moncton’s fleet, and Arnold said eight of those are candidates for replacement. The mayor said the city has purchased four new diesel buses, one electric bus, and added 17 Codiac Transpo staff. Moncton is currently going through a transit growth strategy to guide its transit improvement and residents can add their input until March 12 at letschatmoncton.ca. Aubé said most of the funding will be used for infrastructure like new buses and bus shelters. The City of Dieppe will be preparing an operational plan over the next year to determine how best to grow the city’s transit system, and work toward the city’s goal of having one car per household. “We have very ambitious plans for the growth of public transit in Dieppe, so we’re happy to see we have the support from the federal government to help us build our system, grow our network and also buy new equipment,” he said. When asked if Dieppe was going to consider purchasing electric buses, Aubé said it was on their radar, but would require an overhaul of their operations and infrastructure as well as charging facilities and staffing. “Of course we want to go in that direction but I think it won’t be a reality for the short term at least,” he said. Aubé said housing and transit are interconnected and when planning higher density housing developments the buildings should ideally be designed in close proximity with transit routes. Despite beating leukemia and testicular cancer by the time he was one year old Jonathan Henry’s parents were discouraged by doctors about what their son could do his parents Shirley and Peter said little was known about Down syndrome at that time The couple was told their son would have poor muscle tone and a poor quality of life “If you looked in medical books there was about a paragraph (about Down syndrome) and most of it said to put them in a home,” Peter said “They didn’t give us much encouragement,” Shirley said Jonathan has done nothing but prove his doctors’ predictions wrong He was inducted to Moncton’s Sports Wall of Fame in 2019 and the Henry family has lost track of the number of medals Jonathan has won at national and Special Olympic competitions in his two disciplines: speed skating and swimming After the World Special Olympic Winter Games he’d qualified for in 2022 were cancelled, he persisted. This year, the number of speed skaters selected to compete for Team Canada shrunk from 16 to just six. At the games to be held in Italy from March 8-15, Jonathan will be one of those six. He will be the only athlete from New Brunswick. A lot of work has gone into preparing for the games. Jonathan has attended two training camps, takes part in practices, cycling and keeps track of his daily steps and food intake. While preparing to skate on the world stage would be enough to fill most peoples’ days, Jonathan works two jobs, is a member of a swim club and a skate club, and he serves as the Moncton Wildcats’ assistant equipment manager.  Life for Jonathan has always been busy. He became involved with the Special Olympics at age 14. “He’s tried almost every sport,” his mom said. Living in Florida at the time, Jonathan took part in a different kind of skating. He competed in inline speed skating. When the family moved back to Canada, he had to learn to switch from skating on hardwood floors to skating on the ice. Shirley said despite what doctors told them about Jonathan’s capabilities when he was born, they allowed him to try every activity he was interested in. “We don’t hold him back because he has a disability,” she said. While right now his focus is on bringing home another medal in March, Jonathan can’t help but think about what’s next. He said he wants to begin training to qualify for the World Special Olympics Summer Games in 2026. When asked what he’d tell other people with Down syndrome to encourage them, Jonathan had four words for them. Dieppe city council voted this week to allow a 152-unit apartment building project to go ahead The five-storey building is proposed for the former site of the Archdiocese of Moncton The land is next to the Our Lady of Calvary Cemetery council voted to reject the recommendations of the planning advisory committee which had advised against allowing the project to proceed said municipal staff were in favour of the project Ernest Thibodeau and Paul Gaudet voted in favour of rejecting the planning committee’s recommendations Corinne Godbout and Josée Turgeon-Roy voted against the motion Mayor Yvon Lapierre broke the tie by voting in favour of the motion to reject the PAC recommendation, and to proceed with the project. Lapierre said the city is working on welcoming more residents to the municipality and becoming a modern city. “I think we have a responsibility toward all of our citizens, not only towards 50 or even 100,” he said before casting his vote. “We’re almost 35,000 people and you have to take into consideration not only the citizens that are here presently, but the ones who want to come here to live in Dieppe.” According to a preliminary report on the project from the city’s planning department, the land is zoned Institutional and allows for multi-family dwellings. The developer, Nova Scotia-based company Southwest Developments Ltd., is asking for six amendments from the city, including the height of the building, the orientation of the building, the position of the main entrance, the position of the building, the position of the main entrance, the position of the amenity space, the width of the access roads and the number of spaces allocated to bicycles. The height of the proposed building is 16.85 metres, but the maximum height allowed under the zoning is 15 metres, the report states. The developer had previously proposed a project of two apartment buildings on the site, but that project was not accepted. The plan was altered and now the project is for a single building. A group of residents had voiced concerns about the project. At a news conference in June, the residents said they were worried about the impact the apartment building would have on families visiting loved ones in the cemetery. Another concern was that the project would not suit the historical architecture of the area and would mean the loss of 100-year-old trees. Neighbouring residents said they had privacy and safety concerns about having an apartment complex close to their homes, and worries the height of the building would leave their homes shaded for most of the day. Ken Donnison, who lives on Lavoie Street behind the site, said in an interview Wednesday he was disappointed with the council’s decision. He shares the group’s privacy and safety concerns and fears the apartment building will impact his property values. “I don’t want to be looking at this apartment on the other side of my backyard so we’re planning on moving somewhere else,” he said, noting he was not happy to see the mayor voting against the advice of the planning committee. “It doesn’t leave a good taste in my mouth.” The councillors who were not in favour of the development said on Monday it was a good-sounding project, but not the right location for that kind of apartment, and added their concern about the large number of variances requested. “This property, as others have mentioned, is probably not the best suited to this project,” said LeBouthillier. Godbout pointed out that council had heard concerns from residents, but had not received letters from people supporting the project except for the developer. She echoed the residents’ fears about the apartment being incompatible with the neighboring cemetery. “The reasons to approve this project are not persuasive enough to convince me that it’s in the interest of the city or residents,” she said. Janin, who was in favour of the project, said the developer had modified their original plan to take residents’ concerns into account, such as keeping the greatest number of trees, avoiding casting shade on neighbouring houses, and having a buffer zone. She noted the proposed apartment building was close to one of the main bus routes. “I see a great improvement to the initial plan,” said Janin. Council imposed a series of about 13 conditions in order for the development to proceed, such as limits on tree-cutting, buffers for the property, and signage to control the flow of traffic. The zoning bylaw amendments for the project passed the second reading on Monday. A water main break has caused a boil order for parts of Dieppe The City of Dieppe said in a news release Monday that there was a water main break on Dover Road and Amirault Street, and crews were on site repairing the damage. “In order to allow for the repair work, the water service will be shut off for the remainder of the day and changes to traffic patterns are to be expected,” the city said on Monday. A boil order has been issued for all residents located from 2135 Amirault all the way up to city limits going towards Memramcook, as well as all residents of Dover, Bayview, Freda, Kristian, Marco, J.F. Bourgeois, Vézina, Raphaël, Carter, Joanne streets and Domaine Dover Estates. All water used for drinking, preparing infant formulas and juices, washing fruits and vegetables, cooking, brushing teeth and dental hygiene should be held at a rolling boil for at least one minute, including water that is used for making ice, making coffee, tea, and juice. The city said it is particularly important for those whose immune system is compromised, such as seniors, infants and those on dialysis or have had transplanted organs. The boil order is expected to be in place for several days and a notice will be issued when the order is lifted. People with questions can contact the city’s water and sewer department at 506-877-7990 or 506-850-5104 for questions about the boil water advisory.
