Moncton is one of the largest cities in the province of New Brunswick and serves as a major economic and transportation hub in Atlantic Canada. Located along the Petitcodiac River, the city forms part of a growing metropolitan area that includes the neighbouring communities of Dieppe and Riverview.
The city developed historically as a railway centre and later diversified into commerce, transportation and service industries. Its central location within the Maritime provinces has made Moncton an important regional distribution and logistics hub.
Today Moncton is known for its bilingual population, modern infrastructure and growing business sector. Cultural events, universities and commercial districts contribute to the city’s role as a dynamic urban centre in eastern Canada.
