Group plans to establish Chinese community in Fredericton
daily gleaner
A Shanghai, China-based immigration-networking company will establish a Chinese community in Fredericton this summer at a yet-to-determined location.
"We welcome the opportunity to encourage new Canadians and new Frederictonians to relocate to the city," said Fredericton Chamber of Commerce general manager Anthony Knight.
"Establishing a Chinese community is a major feature of our economic-development plans for the year."
Knight said Fredericton is a global community and new residents are welcome.
He said new Canadians provide Fredericton with a richness and diversity that will promote more growth.
"KBL's efforts will benefit our community and the Chinese Commerce Centre will yield great opportunities for the city," he said.
Mary Colburn-Green, vice-president of KBL subsidiary Partnerships Fredericton, said plans are moving ahead to establish the community.
"Investments are secured but we haven't divulged a possible location for it," she said.
This week, the vice-president of KBL International Services Inc. announced efforts to develop a Chinese community in the capital city are in high gear.
"We are in the final stages of negotiations with the city and private investors to establish a Chinese commerce centre in Fredericton," said Pierre Rouleau.
He said between $1.5 million and $2 million has been secured to build the 12-unit complex.
"The centre will provide settlement services for new families coming from China," he said.
Rouleau said the proposed community will feature a Transition International English School, it will provide housing services and other settlement services.
KBL of Shanghai has already established a Chinese community in Saint John.
That community comprises 19 buildings, including a business centre, transitional housing and community services.
