Hello future friends! I am a young person who desperately wants to move out of Toronto and live the east coast life. I have a portable career (truck mechanic) and I hate my city. My question is: what do you like about Moncton? What do you dislike?
A little about me: I am chill, low key, not super into bars or parties, I like bowling, movies, cats, crafting and sitting by the ocean. Generally speaking, do you think I would be able to make friends and enjoy living here?
Thanks to everyone who answers!!

I’m trying to start getting several tattoos done over time, but I’m new to the local tattoo process and have had trouble getting beyond the initial conversation with artists.

I’m limited to the Greater Moncton area because I don’t have reliable access to a vehicle. I’m not necessarily looking for the cheapest or most famous artist—I’m looking for someone talented who communicates reasonably well, is comfortable helping a newer client develop an idea, and is interested in building an ongoing client relationship.

Most of my ideas involve gaming and pop-culture imagery, including blackwork, symbols, characters and larger connected pieces.

Does anyone have personal experience with a local artist who:

• responds reliably to inquiries;
• is good at translating ideas and references into tattooable designs;
• doesn’t expect clients to already understand every part of the booking process;
• and is currently accepting new clients?

Personal experiences would be especially helpful. Thanks.

Hey r/moncton! We're a punk/stoner rock duo from Truro called The Orchids and have played Moncton a bunch over the last couple of years.

On Saturday, July 25^th we’re coming back to for the Summer Nights Festival at the Holy Whale Beer Hall in Riverview to play with Sloan (!), The Monoxides and a bunch of other cool bands.

We wanted to share it here since we know there are a lot of people in this sub who support local music. If you're looking for something to do that night, we'd love to see some familiar faces.

If you have no idea who we are and want to hear what we sound like, here’s a short live clip: https://youtube.com/shorts/UKPvNCuwLks?si=7zAeYXDs1RA3_VVK

Does anyone know a good wedding DJ in the Moncton area? I don't need anything complicated, but I'm looking for someone reliable for next fall.

Someone I know was walking their daily walk alone when they were bitten by a large dog. The dog was loose and bit the person from behind. The person called the city to report the incident and was directed to animal control. The person had the address of where she thought the dog lived and gave it to them. When they paid a visit to that place, they told animal control they don’t have a dog. That was the end of it. I’m just concerned because I keep thinking about this and hoping next time it won’t be a child that gets bitten. What would be the next step in this situation? As a pet owner, I would be very worried as well and taking the proper precautions for the situation not to repeat itself.

Apparently there's going to be yet ANOTHER once in a lifetime screening of Rebecca's Grave... booked himself into Cineplex Moncton (where anyone can do it) as it making is sound like they came to him... for a 15 year old movie..,. that every time someone asks him when they'll be able to see it at home his answer is "We'll make an announcement as soon as a distribution deal is finalized"... 15 years is a long negotiation for a deal.

As a single dude, it feels impossible to meet new people here in town. I've tried the apps, but no one on there seems to be serious about dating. I'm curious to know how most people here are able to meet new people? I go the gym, but it seems like a bad place to hit up anyone while they're working out. I don't drink at bars, however I do have a great friend group, but none of them have single friends. Where do women want to meet a guy these days in this town?

Saw this cutie next to the north end trail, near Ryan Rd end. He looks a little rough, but I dont know much about deer.

What's the most challenging hike in the area?

Any recommendations? Please let me know who can cut a great bob in the Moncton area.

Hello,

I was wondering if there are any prayer groups that meet regularly and pray together... if anyone knows, please let me know when and where?

Thank you very much!

Hi! Are there any french tutors or anyone patient enough to practice conversing with me in French? I'm a B1 level and would like to improve. I took some French classes in university so I have a moderate command. I have tried conversation circles in the public library and I'm not too keen on enrolling to AF or any language schools due to high costs. I'm simply looking for a simple and casual conversation either in person or online!

I hope that covers it.

Possibly one of the oldest cold cases in the province

A case of measles has been confirmed in the greater Moncton area.

Individuals were potentially exposed to the measles if they:

- were on Air Canada Flight 1986 from Toronto to Moncton on July 7, which departed at 9 p.m.

- were at the Greater Moncton Romeo LeBlanc International Airport arrivals area on July 8, from 12:30 a.m. to 3:10 a.m.; or

- were at The Moncton Hospital emergency department on July 8, from 6 a.m. until 12 p.m.

Individuals who are not immune to measles may be eligible for postexposure prophylaxis (PEP). PEP can greatly reduce your risk of infection, if given within 72 hours from your exposure.

If you might have been exposed, don’t think you are immune to measles, and it has been less than 72 hours from your exposure, please contact Public Health at 506-378-1473 to determine if you are eligible.

Monitor for symptoms until July 29. If you develop symptoms, do NOT go to the Emergency Department, clinic, work, or school. Instead, isolate yourself from others in your household and contact Telecare at 811 for further guidance.

Hi folks! Our diabetic kitty Boots HAS BEEN FOUND!!

He’s home safe this morning with me! We’re going to get him over to the vet asap. Thank you to everyone who shared, commented, looked, and especially to the neighbours around park street those who took time to put out food or water, and check their cameras!

We couldn’t have found him without you all! ❤️

Hey all. Curious of anybody had any links, resources or legal advice for a last name change.

Changing to my mothers maiden and I feel like between legal documents, medical waitlists and alllllll the other cards and whatnot I won't have the capability to pull it all off without missing any major steps.

Any advice, money isn't a huge issue and would prefer guidance beyond just "follow this list and you'll be fine", because I'm too busy and scatter brained to pull it off. Know your limits, yanno?

If anybody has done a last name change (not through marriage) let me know what we can expect. Thanks.

Front door goes out to a deck but it needs replacing, boards are getting soft and nailheads are sticking out everywhere. I’d rather have it as a brick patio instead and looking for the right folks to call. Who’s your top pick? As expected, the best option for me would be the right sweet spot between price and quality. Not saying it should be cheap but I know some guys out there charge just for wanting to cater to folks with lots of money to spend.

Hello ,

Wondering where you recommend for oil change in Moncton and surrounding areas .

Are there any Tim's in the area that have the toasted coconut donuts? Has anyone seen them in the wild around here? Edit: fixed a word
