PAC agenda for December:

https://www.moncton.ca/lets-do-busin...sory-committee

Absolutely dead unless you're into cell towers.

The PAC agendas at the beginning of the year were all full of juicy projects, but 2019 seems to be going out with a whimper. Hopefully things will pick up in 2020.

Vitalité has plans for 400 millions in upgrades to the George-Dumont hospital over the next 20-30 years.

Upgrades to pharmacy, receiving bays, emergency, addition of floors over the new operation ward and more.

There is also mentions of a multi level parking structure for 600 vehicles but no mention where on the property.

Here is a link to the Acadie Nouvelle article, I could not find an English article as of yet.

Money has never been any obstacle for the Dumont.

As for the Moncton Hospital...........

Youth Mental Health Centre Moving To Moncton:


Youth Mental Health Centre Moving To Moncton
A mental health facility for youth in New Brunswick is being moved from Campbellton to Moncton.

The provincial government says it’s following the advice of several experts.

Health minister Ted Flemming says this centre was designed to be a service hub and close to other hospitals and universities which are available in Moncton.

“Politics never entered into it. I was adamant that this be a clinical decision in the best interest of health care in New Brunswick,” he noted during a media briefing on Thursday.

He says the so-called “youth centre of excellence” was intended to be more than just a bricks-and-mortar building but rather a collaborative effort of resources.

The youth centre was under construction in Campbellton next to the Restigouche Hospital when the province halted work earlier this year.

Flemming adds $10 million has been budgeted to repurpose that space to expand the residential addiction treatment program from 18 to 24 beds.

This BTW was absolutely the correct move by the Higgs government.

The previous Liberal government chose to locate the Youth Mental Health Centre in Campbellton for purely political reasons, and defying all logic.

Most of the clients of this facility would be coming from the south, and you would therefore be separating vulnerable youth from their families - not a good thing.

In addition, there is a shortage of trained youth mental health workers, adolescent psychiatrists and youth psychologists. Getting appropriate staffing for this facility will be challenging enough in Moncton (or Freddy or SJ), let alone Campbellton. At least in a larger community with a university like Moncton, there will be more professional support available for the workers in this facility, and greater employment opportunities for the spouses of the health professionals employed at the facility. At least in Moncton there will be a chance of success. If the facility had remained in Campbellton, it would have been a catastrophe in waiting..........

Yeah they need to invest in a parking structure for Moncton Hospital. This should have been built like, yesterday.

It's not like the province hasn't tried to get it built.

Not too enthusiastically though, and not recently.

About 20 years ago, there was a chance of a parking structure on the current visitors lot across MacBeath from the main entrance to the hospital, but disgruntled homeowners in the neighbourhood put the kibosh to this.

This was the last serious attempt at addressing the parking issue.

More recently, underground parking was added to the basement of the Ambulatory Care Centre (although it was a real fight to get the government of the day to approve it), and just this year, a new physicians lot was created in front of the ACC, but this is only really replacement parking for the spaces lost when the new Maternal/Newborn and cardiac wings of the hospital are built in the next few years.

Before the Sheldon Rubin Cancer Clinic was built, the Friends of the Moncton Hospital Foundation had an ambitious plan to increase the size of the Professional Arts Building, including space for the new cancer clinic and a large enclosed parking structure, but the government of the day would have nothing to do with this proposal. This was really sad. This would have been the solution to the parking woes at the hospital...........

I'm not an engineer, but I've often wondered if it would be possible to build a 2nd level above the existing visitors parking lot across MacBeth. That would almost double the parking capacity there. Not sure if it would be possible, but would really help the parking problems at the hospital.

Having surface parking over parking garages is a purely financial decision. You won't see one being built any time soon

Copper thieves???

Maybe you should advise the province of the problem. They might not be aware.

I wasn't laughing, it was the first thing that came to my mind.

Do the RCMP do any street patrols at all overnight???

Exactly what I was thinking. It would be pretty brazen to steal copper from the Gunningsville Bridge.

Noticed that last night.
My guess is that they shut them off to save money. Just a guess though.

If its the job of DTI to keep them on, would not be surprised its a messed up sensor. Same as when you travel on the highway and half the lights are on and the other half off, or all off at on/off ramps. They seem to have a hard time to maintain those.

I'm just guessing but it could be NB Power responsible for them. Not on highways, but maybe a special case like the Gunningville Bridge.
