This is the beauty of Moncton now being a CMA. This gives prospective retailers a wealth of demographic information about our city which wasn't available 15 years ago when we were merely a CA. Information like this is pure gold to anyone wanting to chose a location to set up shop.
I'm sure that it hasn't escaped the attention of these people that Moncton has the fifth highest growth rate amongst Canadian CMAs, and the highest growth rate east of Saskatchewan.
