Moncton at a glance

The Petitcodiac River at Moncton is known for its tidal bore and for the reddish-brown silt that gave it the nickname “Chocolate River”. Moncton grew as a railway town: the Intercolonial Railway and later Canadian National based major shops and offices there, which earned it the nickname “Hub City”. Moncton takes its name from Robert Monckton, the British officer who captured Fort Beauséjour in 1755, although the city's spelling dropped the “k”. In 2002 Moncton became the first officially bilingual city in Canada. Greater Moncton, which takes in the neighbouring cities of Dieppe and Riverview, has become the largest urban area in New Brunswick. German-speaking families from Pennsylvania settled Moncton in 1766, and Acadians returning to the Petitcodiac valley added a French-speaking population that remains large today.

Other platforms you can reach in Moncton work under foreign licences, outside provincial supervision; iGaming Ontario licences only cover Ontario. Using an offshore site is not an offence for the player; the trade-off is weaker protection and slower dispute resolution.
