The largest engineering project completed in New Brunswick and one of most challenging marine engineering projects completed in Canada is the Confederation Bridge. This bridge was constructed from 1993-1997 at a cost $1.3 billion CAD and is 12.9 km (8 miles) long.

What is your favorite thing about being a Rotarian? The people and the sense of purpose, that we can achieve so much more as a group than we ever would as individuals.
Tell us something others might not know about you? Every Christmas I prepare a half-dozen pâtés à viande (which most people call tourtière) and a 10lb Tourtière du Lac St-Jean because my father's roots were there.
