Aitken University Centre

The Aitken University Centre is located on the campus of the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, New Brunswick. It was constructed in 1976. Sir Max Aitken, 2nd Baronet was then the university's chancellor and he was succeeded by his wife, Lady Vi Aitken, who was also a sportsperson, in 1982. It was the home of the UNB Reds hockey and hosted UNB basketball games until the construction of the Richard J. Currie Center (sic) in 2011. The arena hosted the University Cup in 2003, 2004, 2011, 2012, 2017 and 2018. The Aitken Centre was also the venue for the 2006 CIS Women's basketball championships, and the 2007 and 2008 CIS Women's volleyball championships. The arena's capacity is 3,278 for ice events and 4,258 for concerts. Other uses The Aitken Centre was home to the American Hockey League's Fredericton Express (1981–1988) and Fredericton Canadiens (1990–1999). The arena was used as a set during the filming of the television miniseries Canada Russia '72. It stood in for the Montreal Forum, Maple Leaf Gardens and Luzhniki Palace of Sports. The arena has also hosted numerous curling events, such as the 2024 Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, 2024 U Sports University Curling Championships, and the 2024 CCAA College Curling Championships.

Aroostook Valley Country Club

The Aroostook Valley Country Club is a golf course that straddles the Canada–US border, between the U.S. state of Maine and the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The club, located near Southern Victoria, New Brunswick and Fort Fairfield, Maine, has its course (except part of the tee area for the ninth hole, and possibly part of a sand trap on the first hole) and clubhouse on the Canadian side of the border. Its parking lot and pro shop are on the American side. Although the course is located entirely on one side of the border, three holes are close enough to the border that crooked shots can enter the United States. The club was founded in 1929; its position on the border allowed American golfers to bypass Prohibition without passing through customs. Club membership was previously roughly half Canadian and half American. With tougher access requirements since the height of the pandemic, American membership has fallen by close to 70%. Pre–COVID-19 pandemic access Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the only entry to the course was on the American side of the border; American golfers could use the entire club without reporting to a Port of Entry. Canadian golfers used a small local road, Brown Road, to cross the border and access the country club. Canada had a seasonal border checkpoint on the road but until 2008, entry to the U.S. had been unsecured since the 1950s. In 2008, however, the U.S. border officials closed the unpatrolled border crossing on Brown Road, citing increased concerns over terrorism and a drug sale on the course in 2006. The closure required Canadian golfers to make a 33-kilometre (21 mi) detour through Fort Fairfield to access the course and was criticized by the Fort Fairfield town manager and the country club's golf pro. U.S. Senator Susan Collins and Canadian MP Mike Allen proposed that U.S. border officials establish a new seasonal border checkpoint on Brown Road. Up to 2019, the Four Falls Border Crossing was a seasonally open border checkpoint along Brown Road on the Canadian side. Access during COVID-19 pandemic During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020–21, the USA-Canada border was effectively closed. Canadian traffic to the golf club was diverted away from the US by crossing from Brown Road southbound onto private land to reach the parking lot, then operating golf carts beside Russell Road (but not on it, as the road is in the US) to reach the course. Americans could not access the golf club. Access post–COVID-19 pandemic Since the COVID-19 pandemic, US and Canadian authorities have strictly enforced access to the club. People coming from Canada continue to use the route opened during the pandemic. Golfers from the USA wanting to use the club are required to officially enter at a border crossing (the closest is at Carlingford, opposite the US Customs Fort Fairfield Post) and then access the course the same way as for people coming from Canada. They must also do the reverse to return to the USA. Scorecard See also Four Falls Border Crossing References External links Aroostook Valley Country Club
Atlantic Institution

Atlantic Institution (French: Établissement de l'Atlantique) is a Canadian maximum security prison for men. It is located in Renous, a rural community about 30 kilometres from Miramichi, New Brunswick at the confluence of the Renous and Southwest Miramichi rivers. History The institution was opened in 1987 on property that had formerly been used as an ammunition depot by the Canadian Forces. Renous was selected as the site for the new maximum security prison for Atlantic Canada during the early 1980s after the aging Dorchester Penitentiary was evaluated as being unsuitable for the changing focus of correctional services for repeat and violent offenders. Following the opening of Atlantic Institution, the Dorchester Penitentiary was downgraded to handle medium security prisoners in conjunction with the Springhill Institution. Notable inmates Justin Bourque, perpetrator of the 2014 Moncton shootings. Allan Legere, serial killer. References External links Profile from Corrections Canada
Société des loteries de l'Atlantique

La Société des loteries de l'Atlantique (SLA), communément désigné sous la marque Loto Atlantique, est une société de la Couronne opérant les jeux de loterie dans les provinces de l'Atlantique. Elle est détenue conjointement par 4 gouvernements provinciaux : le Nouveau-Brunswick, la Nouvelle-Écosse, l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard et Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador. Son siège est situé à Moncton. Histoire La SLA a été fondée en 1976, peu de temps après la fondation d'autres loteries ailleurs au Canada. Alors que les premiers jeux de la SLA étaient uniquement joués sur une base régionale, l'organisation a rapidement rejoint la Société de la Loterie Interprovinciale pour pouvoir participer aux jeux pancanadiens. En 1988, la société est devenue la première organisation de loterie dans le monde à imprimer un code à barres sur tous les billets de tirage et grattage, permettant une vérification instantanée. En 1990, ils introduisent les premiers appareils de loterie vidéo au Canada. Avec l'introduction de PlaySphere en 2004, ils permettent désormais aux utilisateurs de jouer à la loterie sur Internet, une autre première. En 2007, Loto Atlantique a été nommé l'un des 100 meilleurs employeurs du Canada, tel que publié dans le magazine Maclean's, la seule autorité provinciale de jeux à recevoir cet honneur. Depuis 1976, la SLA a accordé plus de 5,5 milliards de dollars en prix et versé 5,9 milliards de dollars les bénéfices de ses quatre actionnaires.

Bell Aliant Tower

Bell Aliant Tower, formerly known as Aliant Tower and originally NBTel Tower, is a 127-metre-high (417 ft) tower of reinforced concrete located in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. It is used to provide directional radio services. It is the tallest structure in Moncton and the fifteenth tallest freestanding structure in Atlantic Canada. History The NBTel Tower was the subject of litigation in John Maryon Int Ltd v. NB Telephone Co [1982] N.B.J. No. 387 (N.B. C.A.). In his decision on the case, Justice LaForest provided substantial background on the early history of the tower: In early 1970 the New Brunswick Telephone Company, Limited (N.B.Tel) learned that plans had been approved by the City of Moncton for the construction of the Place L'Assomption development, a new high-rise business complex in the heart of the city. This development would block the transmission of microwave messages to and from N.B.Tel's 135 feet steel tower located in downtown Moncton. As a result, N.B.Tel decided to build a new and higher tower, and in June 1970 it invited several consulting engineers to submit proposals for the construction of the new tower. John Maryon International Ltd. (Maryon International) was selected as consultant to design and arrange for its construction. Construction work had in fact already started on September 21, 1970, when excavation for the foundation was begun. The slip form method of construction, whereby concrete is poured into forms continuously moving upwards, was recommended and used in constructing the tower shaft. The slip form began on November 4, 1970, and was finished on November 20, 1970. Other aspects of the work proceeded with similar celerity, and the tower was completed and fully operational by the following summer. It was officially opened at the beginning of June 1971. During the construction phase of the tower, only two people ever stood on top of the red beacon at the top of the tower, Bob Sweet and John Brophi, both were engineers on the project. At the time of its construction, Aliant Tower was the tallest microwave communications tower of its kind in North America. It remains the tallest radio tower in Atlantic Canada and is the fifteenth tallest freestanding structure in Atlantic Canada. It remains the tallest structure in Moncton dwarfing the neighbouring Place L'Assomption, one of the tallest office buildings in New Brunswick, by 46 metres. Aliant Tower is also recognized for its importance as a symbol of economical and technological growth in Moncton's history. In choosing Moncton as the location for this innovative tower, NBTel claimed to be predicting where the growth of the Province as a whole would take place. The tower's placement at the corner of Botsford Street and Queen Street is also significant. The tower sits on the site of Moncton's first telephone exchange, which was started in 1883 by George C. Peters with five subscribers. See also List of tallest buildings in Moncton List of tallest structures in Canada References External links Diagram from skyscraperpage.com
Belyea's Point Light

Belyea's Point Lighthouse is an 11-metre (36 ft)-tall landfall lighthouse located along the Saint John River, near the community of Morrisdale. It was built in 1881, commenced operation on June 1, 1882, with Spafford Barker Belyea serving as its first keeper and later rebuilt at a slightly different location after having been damaged due to severe flooding in the 1930s. The Canadian Coast Guard owns the lighthouse, the land it is on, and maintains it. The light's characteristic is a single green flash that occurs every five seconds, emitted at a focal plane height of 14 metres (46 ft). The lighthouse is named for its original keeper, "Spafford Barker Belyea" and the area's original United Empire Loyalist settler, "Hendrick Belyea". Because the region is susceptible to spring flooding, the lighthouse frequently gives the impression of being afloat in the river until the water subsides.

Маяк Бельеас-Пойнт

Маяк Бельеас-Пойнт (англ. Belyea's Point Lighthouse) — маяк, расположенный на берегу реки Сент-Джон, графство Кингс, провинция Нью-Брансуик, Канада. Построен в 1882 году. История Долину реки Сент-Джон европейцы (сначала французы, затем британцы) колонизировали уже в XVII веке, потому потребность в маяках около опасных мест вдоль течения реки возникла достаточно давно. Многие из этих маяков (Бельеас-Пойнт, Макколган-Пойнт, Робертсон-Пойнт, Кокс-Пойнт, Фанджойс-Пойнт, Бриджес-Пойнт и Палмерс-Лендинг) названы в честь первых владельцев земли, на которых они построены. Во многих случаях они были единственными жителями на несколько километров вокруг и потому после строительства маяков стали их первыми смотрителями. Белиас-Пойнт расположен на южной оконечности Лонг-Рич, широкого прямого участка реки Сент-Джон, протекающей вдоль западной стороны полуострова Кингстон. В 1881 году парламент Канады выделил 800 канадских долларов на строительство маяка Бельеас-Пойнт. Однако в тендере победила заявка Сондерса Кларка, оценившего строительство вдвое дешевле, в 395 долларов. Маяк Бельеас-Пойнт был завершен в следующем году и был введён в эксплуатацию 1 июня 1882 года. Он представлял собой белую квадратную деревянную башню высотой 12 метров. Место, где был изначально построен маяк, было подвержено наводнениям, и одно из них в 1930 году сильно повредило маяк. После этого башня была перенесена на новое, более возвышенное место, и перестроена. В настоящее время маяк находится в собственности канадской береговой охраны. Примечания .

Cassidy Lake (New Brunswick)

Cassidy Lake is a lake in Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada. Location Cassidy Lake is located in the community of Clover Hill, surrounded by rolling hills in the Caledonia Highlands, 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) southeast of the village of Valley Waters. Neighbouring communities are Poodiac, Salt Springs, and Southfield. As of 2008 there are less than 30 families living in the immediate area. Numerous cottages dot the lake's shores, along with several camps and a youth drug rehabilitation centre. Lake, wildlife, and recreation The lake is approximately one kilometre in length and half a kilometre wide. The water is clean, and the lake is fed by two large brooks, as well as surface runoff and numerous underwater springs. At the north east end of the lake the water is very shallow and marshy. This area contains most of the wildlife around the lake. There are many types of birds, including bald eagles, loons, cormorants and king fishers, several beaver dams, and mainly chain pickerel, splake, and sunfish, there are also Smallmouth bass, and speckled trout. Although small, the lake is a popular spot to fish, swim and boat. Every year in May the Fish and Game Society holds a fishing derby which always attracts a crowd. Area history Originally called DeForest Lake, it was later named Cassidy Lake after settler Francis Edward Cassidy. His original homestead on Cassidy Hill burned many years ago, but you will still find the foundation, apple orchards, cemetery and church. The church has a very interesting interior design, but is only open to worshipers for one day every August. At one time there was a saw mill on the lake, near what is now Route 865. The Kilpatrick family also owned a general store and millinery on the same road. There is no commerce in the area at present. Potash mining Potash is mined to the south east of the lake, the mine was opened by Dennison and was later purchased by the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan. In the late 1990s areas of the mine began to flood, shortly after it was allowed to flood completed and production was terminated. Today the mine acts as water storage for its sister operation in Penobsquis, New Brunswick, which has also been leaking for some years. By trucking the water to Cassidy Lake, and other sites the Penobsquis Mine has been able to maintain production. See also List of lakes of New Brunswick References

Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción (Saint John)

La Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción​ (en inglés: Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception;​ en francés: Cathédrale de l'Immaculée-Conception de Saint-Jean) en Saint John, provincia de Nuevo Brunswick,​ al este de Canadá​ es la catedral de la diócesis de Saint John ubicada en 91 de la calle Waterloo en el barrio central de Waterloo Village. El edificio fue iniciado por el segundo Obispo de Nuevo Brunswick , El Reverendísimo Thomas Connolly. Al darse cuenta de que la población católica requería una instalación más grande , el obispo Connolly el 14 de noviembre de 1852, anunció a la congregación su intención de proceder de inmediato con la construcción de la Catedral. Los planes se prepararon posteriormente en Nueva York durante el invierno de 1852-53 , la primera piedra fue colocada en mayo de 1853 y las paredes se levantaron y un techo fue establecido en noviembre de 1853. La bendición y la primera misa en la nueva catedral se celebró el día de Navidad de ese mismo año. Galería Véase también Catolicismo Historia de Canadá Referencias
Cathédrale de l'Immaculée-Conception de Saint-Jean

La cathédrale de l'Immaculée-Conception de Saint-Jean est située à Saint-Jean (Nouveau-Brunswick) au 91 Waterloo Street. Elle est la cathédrale du diocèse de Saint-Jean au Nouveau-Brunswick. Historique La cathédrale a été construite à l'initiative du deuxième évêque du Nouveau-Brunswick à partir de 1853, le toit a été terminé en 1865 et le clocher a été érigé en 1871. Environ 30 000 Irlandais sont arrivés à Saint-Jean entre 1845 et 1847, ce qui doubla la population d'alors, et rendit nécessaire la construction d'un tel édifice. Elle a été reconnue lieu historique local par la ville de Saint-Jean en août 2008. Elle devient finalement un lieu du patrimoine provincial en 2014. Description La cathédrale est en pierre, d'inspiration néo-gothique. Elle fait 200 pieds de long pour 116 pieds de large, la nef fait 80 pieds de haut, et le clocher culmine à 230 pieds. Elle est reconnue pour son association avec les immigrants catholiques irlandais à Saint-Jean.
