This means the Moncton CMA could increase by 22,000-40,000 by the 2031 census.
The Moncton CMA is currently 196,000. The new CMA population in 2031 could be 218,000-236,000 (not including any natural growth). If you include natural growth (if it continues at current levels) it is conceivable Moncton's CMA population in 2031 could be 250,000.
This feels about right. The Shediac region psychologically feels like it is part of greater Moncton anyway.

Sounds like Moncton has its own Okotoks in the form of Shediac - it appears there are a number of things to do there.
