The one in New York has been running since 1978, and is actually organized and run well.

Shediac Renaissance Faire is no where near that level. If they don't change those prices, there's not going to be a 2028 faire.

Got rear ended and totaled, insurance company wants to settle medical costs. Advice?

2 Upvotes

I was in an accident a over a year ago, car was written off. I have been in physio for the last 20 months for neck and shoulder injury. At fault insurance company contacted me and wants to settle for around $10,000. The insurance adjustor also asks me if I had different monetary amount in mind for settlement.

So I’m getting this settlement to cover rehab and time off work, but what happens if there’s continued issues down the road? What about things like future missed time from work, loss of enjoyment, etc. If I’m trying to claim anything like that, is that where I need to involve an accident injury lawyer?

Or do I just speak to my insurance agent and ask for a higher amount? WHat is an appropriate amount? I would rather not use a lawyer unless I have to. Should I?

Miramichi Hospital MRIs

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’m just wondering if anyone has had a MRI done at the Miramichi Hospital recently and how long were you waiting?

I know it’s a waiting game for an appointment but I just want to have a sense of how long people waited for their appts. I’m waiting for one right now so any info would be appreciated! Already looked at the wait times for this through the website! Thank you!!

I took this picture at the wharf in Mispec (outside Saint John) about 2 years ago. I think this old Alpine bottle is a quintessential example of New Brunswick.

Why does a small province like New Brunswick have so many management consultants? Why does the government need to hire so many outside consultants? I don't ever remember it being like this 10 years ago.

72 Upvotes

I have noticed that government is increasingly using outside consultants for all kinds of things. Human Resources, Management Training, Media Relations, Branding, etc.

I suppose this would make some sense if they were being used to reduce civil service costs (doubtful), but it seems like it's just a duplication of existing inhouse employees.

For example, why would GNB hire an outside HR company to recruit employees when it already has a fully staffed HR department in every ministry.

Why is this duplication of efforts necessary, and what is the cost?

Alma fleet launch

78 Upvotes

One of the most celebrated days in the village— Alma Fleet Launch: it matters here as it connects what’s important to New Brunswickers: the people who harvest its seafood, the communities that depend on fishing, and the visitors who help sustain our coastal economy.

Our Fleet Launch celebrations highlight our local fishing families who are at the heart of the industry’s attractions including the tide phenomenon, the Bay of Fundy’s unique and endlessly challenging tide schedule, the food, scenery and our Maritime lifestyle.

Join the send off today at 12:45 at the Alma Village wharf. The beautiful new (anonymously funded) timber-frame Alma Pavillion is the perfect gathering place!

If we keep standard time, and eastern people keep daylight time, then we would be on the same time as them.

And hockey would always be on earlier - how do we make this happen.

Rent increase?

10 Upvotes

I’m renting an apartment from a company out of Quebec (I’m in NB) and my rent was just increased by 3% on September 1st. I got an email today asking for me to sign another lease starting in April 1, 2027-March 31, 2028, with another 3% increase at the start of the lease. Is this even allowed? That would be 2 increases in 6 months. If not allowed, what do I do?
