Shediac was a big winner in this municipal reform package:
Town of Shediac will inherit:
– Local service district of Shediac Cape
– Local service district of Scoudouc Road
– Local service district of Pointe-du-Chêne
– Portion of the local service district of Scoudouc (95%)
The new town population will be 9,441.
It will be interesting to see how this affects the Moncton CMA boundaries. On the one hand, Scoudouc is currently part of the Moncton CMA, and it's inclusion in Shediac might tip commuting patterns sufficiently that all of Shediac will be incorporated into the Moncton CMA the next time around.
Alternatively, if the Shediac commuting watershed is not altered sufficiently enough for inclusion, then the Moncton CMA might actually lose a couple of thousand people.
It will be interesting to see if the Moncton CMA is +9,000 or -2,000 by the time of the 2026 census.
