St Louis bar and grill is now open. Also, the new food court in this building is small but a nice concept. Globe cafe, Halo Donuts and Lost and Found Ice-cream were all open. A fourth food option looked to be under construction.

I noticed yesterday that they have begun clearing the land where the entrance road to the new Anglophone school will be started. I thought they still had 1 council meeting left before they got approval.
I also read that the town has awarded a contract to the company that designed the school entrance road to extend the road all the way to Bellevue Heights. This was talked about during a previous council meeting but I'm glad to see they are going through with it.

Apparently the last space in this food court will be a bubble tea shop. Final fit-up is ongoing.

I'm glad to hear this. I think the town realizes the importance of an interconnected street grid in reducing congestion on Main Street. The Breaux Bridge project will certainly help this. A road between Bellevue Heights and Ohio Road will help too.

Just watching the Anglophone East District Education Council meeting from last night. There will be an official announcement about the new K-12 Shediac school will be made on Monday morning at 9:30 am at Shediac Cape school. Plan is to get contractor onboarding during the summer and doing prep work during the summer and having shovels in the ground this fall.
Of course we already know the location but this will be the official announcement with hopefully plans released. I'm very much looking forward to this announcement and getting this project finally moving.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet...

This looks like the second building proposed behind A&W back in 2022. The height of 6 floors was approved however construction never started.

I understood the first building to have been affected by the engineering debacle..

At least this one is back to the design phase.

From the press release on GNB website

"The new school will be built on the west side of Ohio Road, next to Route 15. It will replace Shediac Cape School, which was built in 1958 and renovated and expanded in 1997, and alleviate enrolment pressures at Moncton High School.

The facility – designed to accommodate 930 students – will include classrooms appropriate for the various grade levels, as well as music, visual arts and middle school technology rooms, a black box theatre with stage, computer and science labs, and vocational shops. A library, cafeteria and two gymnasiums will benefit the school community and the wider community outside of school hours."

"The budget for the project is $105 million, $25 million of which has been allocated in the 2025-26 fiscal year. Construction is scheduled to start this fall, with the school expected to open in January 2029."

I'm disappointed that is going to take 3.5 years to open the school. My son will still get to attend this school, but originally they were planning a fall 2027 opening date.

Why does it always take twice as long to build any government project????

benvui · #**1112** Posted **May 26, 2025, 2:40 PM**

By the time it is built (if it is on time), it will have been 7 years since they announced the new school (Dec 2022 -> Jan 2029). To put that in perspective, students who were in grade 5 when it was announced won't ever go to the new school. Also, why open in the middle of the school year?

Facebook post from Cedar Camp Projects, sharing exciting time for Shediac with photo of land currently being cleared for new school. This also be exciting time for Cedar Camp Projects to share some news for the land that was cleared late last year on other side of ohio road from the new school entrance.

On CTV Atlantic News this evening, they revealed there is future “room to grow “ at the new Shediac anglophone K-12 school, and that a future expansion could bring enrolment up to 1,200 students

Ha!

I’m pretty sure they meant a new wing (if necessary).

Having participated in many government RFPs, I can tell you, procurement is the worst.

From the details that I was able to garner from previous Education Council meetings, the school has a capacity of 930-1140 I assumed this was based on minimum classroom size vs maximum classroom size.
Some of the numbers that were said yesterday are concerning, the number given for the current enrolment at Shediac Cape was 565. The Superintendent mentioned that there are 400 students travelling from Shediac to Moncton High Daily.. if you add those numbers together you get 965, which is already more than the 930 capacity given. I don't think the 400 student number for high school students is accurate, unless they are planning on rezoning the school catchment area to move more students away from Moncton High, which if they do that, would also increase the k-8 enrolment. This is total speculation but they are flirting with being overcapacity before they open.
I'm hoping that the numbers given were incorrect or rounded-up. I do think that student enrolment should be more stabilized from now until the school opens than it has been for the past 5 years and it won't be a big issue

Riberview · #**1119** Posted **May 28, 2025, 2:22 AM**

First of all, the provincial government would never underestimate/overestimate/guess about numbers. (Sarcasm)

When I first saw the enrollment estimate, I actually did a double take. Might as well add the expansions now. This school will be insanely overcrowded when it opens.

Not unlike when the new Moncton High opened..

Weird.

Shediac mural honours Transatlantic air service of 1930s
Historical society hopes to build a Boeing 314 seaplane replica as a museum and tourist attraction in Shediac

A mural depicting passengers walking off a Boeing 314 seaplane will be unveiled in Shediac Sunday. The mural recalls the day in 1939 when the Pan-Am Transatlantic air service made its first stop at the Pointe-du-Chene Wharf, en route from New York to Southampton, England. SUBMITTED

Photo shows passengers disembarking from a Boeing 314 seaplane around 1939. These planes stopped in Shediac as they travelled between New York and Southampton, England. SUBMITTED

I think the plan to build a replica flyong boat in Shediac as a tourist attraction is a bit of a pipe dream, but, this is an interesting historical tidbit of a time when trans-Atlantic passenger service was novel and the idea of flight was still romantic.
