Greater Moncton's Map Location as The Heart of the Maritime Provinces

Greater Moncton, New Brunswick is situated at the geographic center of the Maritimes. As such, Greater Moncton has historically been know as the transportation and communications hub of the region. In recent years, however, Greater Moncton's three municipalities (Dieppe, Moncton, Riverview) have moved away from a blue collar economy into a more professional and administrative services.

Located just minutes from the Greater Moncton International Airport, and centre to two contrasting coasts, the Moncton region is the ideal anchor point for your Maritime vacation.

Greater Moncton's location translates into a very short drive to most of Atlantic Canada's favorite recreational activities. The community is only 2 hours drive to Halifix and 90 minutes to both Saint John and Fredericton.

As a result of the Confederation Bridge, Greater Moncton is only a two hour drive from Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island.
