The population of the province has grown by more than 40,000 in the last five years, according to Statistics Canada. New Brunswick experiences the highest rate of population growth since 1976 as it saw more than 15,000 people increase over the last year.
Premier Blaine Higgs stated that the increase is a significant moment for the province and a strong indicator of a healthy economy in the province. In New Brunswick, the population grew by more than 15,000 over the past year, which represents the highest rate of population growth since 1976.

"As our population grows, our economy will grow along with it.

Overall, we’ll build an even better New Brunswick."
