Hi,

Ok this has been bugging me for a while now.You know when you go by the Moncton High schoolChurch st.and you go over the bridge going towards Elmwood.As you go over the bridge ,on the other side there is whats left of a building on your right,there It is white,with holes.its by the tracks.What was that at one time?Hope someone can solve that mystery for me.If you can find a pic of whet it use to be would be even better.

thanks

It used to be an skating rink a long,long time ago.It caught fire ,was gutted,(no roof) left.Thats all I know and would also like to know more....

I believe it used to be the Moncton Stadium.

The Moncton Stadium was across from the Air Force Veteran's Club on St George St. The round building was an old skating rink. I think it once caught fire. For years I used to think it was a roundhouse for CN until I realized there was nowhere for the tracks to go. There is a book at the Moncton Library called Resurgo that tells about the building as well as lots of other things about Moncton's history.
