It appears that the next Moncton City Council will feature a handful of new names and faces.
While the election results remain unofficial for the time being, results from Elections NB indicate there will be five new City Councillors for the Hub City.
Mayor-elect Dawn Arnold will spend another four years representing Moncton after defeating Erik Gingles.
The two seats for councillor-at-large will be filled by Monique LeBlanc and Marty Kingston. Leblanc previously represented Moncton East as a member of the Liberal Party and Kingston is a former play by play Announcer for the Moncton Wildcats.

While the events that lead up to the municipal election showed signs of a competitive battle for the next Mayor of Moncton, the final results tell a much different story.
Mayor-elect Dawn Arnold has been unofficially elected in Moncton, defeating opponent Erik Gingles by nearly 3000 votes.
It has been a long path to re-election for Arnold, who served an extended mandate due to the pandemic, followed by an additional delay for the release of election results.
The unforeseen circumstances made it “challenging” for Arnold, however with the election results revealed she said she “couldn’t be happier.”

Pump House Brewery announced Wednesday that it will begin exporting its products into the Netherlands.
While the brewery has previously exported smaller orders to other European countries such as France and the UK, this new partnership with Van Tol Retail is expected to help them expand into other European countries beyond the Netherlands by leveraging Van Tol’s network.
They will be one of few Canadian craft breweries to export into the Netherlands.
“We recently established a key partnership with Van Tol Retail, a major Dutch retail distributor, to bring our great products to their region. It’s not only exciting news for us at Pump House and our growth but could have repercussions for the entire craft beer industry here in New Brunswick,” said Pump House President and co-owner Brad Devarennes in a release.
