About this Chapter

The founding assembly of the Moncton Chapter of the CBC Pensioners National Association took place at the Moncton Press Club on the evening of May 15, 2000. At the invitation no doubt of Neil d’Entremont, some twenty pensioners had gathered to meet Jack Brownell, Maritime Regional CBC Pensioners’ President, who had traveled up from Halifax with John McKay. Jack lobbied for the creation of a Moncton group, ahead of the official launching of the National Association which was to take place in mid-June.

Our chapter counts nearly 200 retirees and covers all of New Brunswick, except for Fredericton and Saint John (a separate chapter). Various activities are organized throughout the year to allow our retirees to meet and connect with their former colleagues. Lunch and Learn with special guests or speakers, vineyard or distillery tours, card tournaments, and seasonal Christmas or lobster dinners are all opportunities to get together.

Our Facebook page allows us to connect with our members and quickly inform them of important news and upcoming events.
