Housing booms as demand grows

I

t can seem like it is raining houses locally.

From the apartment complexes either recently completed or under construction along Coverdale Road and at the top of Pinewood, a new multi-unit building under construction to accompany the fast-growing array of new homes in the Runneymeade area, and other new construction dotted throughout the town, Riverview feels like a housing boomtown.

That perception is grounded in reality. In 2024, the value of Riverview’s building permits hit $137

million, a four-fold increase over 2023.

Observes Riverview’s Economic Development Manager Shanel Akerley, “more housing units were permitted across all categories except for town and row houses.” That has pushed the town’s vacancy rate up to 1% - still below what is considered a healthy rate of 3% to 5%, but trending in the right direction. A release from the town notes that in 2023 that figure was 0.7%.

Residential construction continues to be the main driver. A total of 180 building permits were issued in 2024,

k n a h T ! u o Y

representing 444 new housing units (with multiunit buildings factored in, along with single family dwellings). Last year was Riverview’s biggest for the creation of single unit dwellings as well as for accessory dwelling units, semi-detached and duplexes, and multi-units.

Akerley points to a

range of factors driving residential growth in Riverview – immigration, inter-provincial immigration to the east coast, mainly from Central Canada, the relatively affordable cost of housing here compared to large urban centres, land availability, and the town’s system of grants designed

to spur development.

Those municipal grant programs include a Commercial Development Grant, a Housing Accelerator Fund Garden and In-Law Suite Development Grant, and a Housing Accelerator Fund Affordable Three-Bedroom Unit Development Grant.

Riverview’s Age-Friendly

Community Survey, conducted in 2023, found that 83% of seniors who responded said they want to stay in Riverview when they are ready to move or downsize, and that 65% of them are looking for townhouses and apartments.

Akerley also notes that, even with changing economic factors like the federal government’s cap on newcomers to Canada and uncertainty about the economic effects of Canada’s tariff tangle with the United States, all indications are that housing demand will continue to grow in Riverview.

She also acknowledges that Riverview, like most communities, is facing the dilemma of “the missing middle,” a term used to describe the housing types that fall between singlefamily detached homes and mid-rise apartment buildings.

However, she adds, “between 2024 and 2025 there were more than two hundred and eighty seven missing middle housing units permitted, contributing to Riverview’s diverse housing offerings.”

Riverview mayor Andrew LeBlanc notes that as Riverview continues to grow the

We often hear of seniors looking to downsize, first time homebuyers looking to secure property, and families new to the area looking to rent, and so it’s great to see projects come forward that respond to the different needs of our evolving resident profile. town’s demographics are changing. The range of housing types being built reflects those new realities.

“We often hear of seniors looking to downsize, first time homebuyers looking to secure property, and families new to the area looking to rent, and so it’s great to see projects come forward that respond to the different needs of our evolving resident profile.”

Housing starts in Salisbury have not grown as rapidly as in Riverview, but growth in demand

is driving development there as well. In February town council approved the municipality’s first Residential Development Incentive Program designed to provide strategic grants to increase the amount and the diversity of housing stock.

For 2025 Salisbury has budgeted $150,000 to administer the grant program as a pilot project.

Says Salisbury Mayor Robert Campbell, “like other communities, Salisbury faces unique challenges related to

housing. Salisbury Town Council is committed to doing our part and demonstrating to developers and residents that we are committed to being a partner in development. This grant program will help accelerate housing and growth but also assist developers and the Town in unlocking and leveraging additional external funding to make projects more affordable.”

Salisbury’s Chief Administrative Officer Austin Henderson adds that private developers are also responding to opportunity.

“In late fall of 2024 a road was completed for a new private subdivision which is expected to see houses started this year. This is the first new subdivision since approximately 2016 in Salisbury. Town Council also approved the rezoning of a property adjacent to Salisbury Regional School for the construction of five multi-unit buildings that will add a total of 34

A little-known breed becomes established in Canada

o, those slender, streamlined dogs you see around town are not necessarily Greyhounds, although you can be forgiven for confusing the breeds.

An organization known as Carlota Galgos Canada works with sister organization 112 Carlota Galgos, a dog rescue organization in Spain, to bring sighthounds known as the Galgo Espanol to Canada.

Carrie Wilson of Riverview is the President of Carlota Galgos Canada.

Air Transat provides space to bring dogs from Spain, principally between March and December each

while some are placed in foster homes while awaiting adoption.

Despite having been bred for coursing (a term for hunting with dogs that hunt by sight rather than smell), Galgos, says Wilson, “are pretty chill.” The breed is known for its calm temperament, easy care, and adaptability to family life. Galgos get along well with children and other pets.

Galgos may be chill, but as a breed from southern Europe they can also get chilly - at least in the Canadian winter.

Many owners provide boots and coats for

And notes Wilson with a smile, “these dogs are counter surfers! If you leave food on the counter, a typical dog may not be able to reach the counter, but these guys can, and they will eat that food.”

year. Those flights book quickly, notes Wilson.

Her organization fundraises (for example, at an event at Pet Valu in Riverview last Valentine’s Day) for costs associated with finding homes for dogs in Canada. Carlota Galgos Canada began operations in 2014 and brings between twenty-five and thirty dogs, whose racing lives in Spain are over, per season to Canada. Some have already been adopted

their Galgos in the cold weather.

“I bought coats for mine,” says Wilson. “They need something because they do not have very much fur. Some dogs do not like coats at first, but they get used to them.”

Carlota Galgos Canada has an application process that includes home visits and, in the case of Galgos which are

coming from Europe, a What’s App connection with 112 Carlota Galgos in Andalucia, Spain to help choose the right dog for each adoptive household.

“We like for someone to have a six-foot fence, as these dogs can jump very high. We have teamed up with Ground Tek in Sackville and they will give a discount to a home-

owner who adopts through our group.”

And notes Wilson with a smile, “these dogs are counter surfers! If you leave food on the counter, a typical dog may not be able to reach the counter, but these guys can, and they will eat that food.”

She speaks from experience – Wilson has two Galgos of her own.

Adopted Galgos come with two leashes and a harness.

The organization is working with a volunteer in Newfoundland and Labrador to develop a waist leash as well.

Even with their calm personalities, Galgos are hunting dogs and possess a prey drive; they can also spook and bolt, so a

firm grip on the leash is always necessary.

Ultimately, says Wilson, Galgos are a loving, family-friendly breed; these former racing dogs need good homes, including in Canada. For more information, you can find Carlota Galgos Canada on Facebook or email CGRC112@ hotmail.com.

RECIPES This month’s recipe is for

Smoky Maple Glazed Chicken EVELYN’S

KITCHEN

For the marinade & sauce: • ½ cup maple syrup • 1/4 cup apple juice (or bourbon for flavour) • 1/3 cup ketchup • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce • 1 tsp Dijon mustard • 1 tsp smoked paprika 1/2 tsp each garlic powder, onion powder, cumin • Pinch of salt & pepper.

• 4 Bone In Chicken Thighs

Instructions: Make the marinade by adding all ingredients into the saucepan.

Bring to low simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened. Let cool - reserve 1/3 cup sauce for the end. Add chicken & sauce to bowl or zip lock bag to marinate.

Marinate for at least one hour or overnight.

Add marinated chicken and sauce to baking dish, cook at 350 for 45 minutes or until internal

temperature reaches 180. About ten minutes prior to being done, I add the reserved 1/3cup sauce on top of the chicken for boost at the end. Bone in chicken needs slightly higher internal temperature than boneless.

Goes great on its own, with rice, potatoes or salad.

Optional maple vinaigrette for salad: •

1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

•

1 tbsp Briggs maple syrup

•

1tbsp red wine vinegar 1 tsp Dijon

Pinch of salt and few cranks of pepper Mix together with salad toppings of your choice - a delicious and easy marinade for a side salad.

This issue's recipe is brought to you by guest chef Claire Brachaniec. She can be found on Instagram at clairebearcooks

Does your favourite recipe call for sugar? add flavour and sweetness by substituting maple ingredients!

Maple Syrup with Vanilla or Cinnamon can be used anywhere you use pure maple syrup. The vanilla and cinnamon add a nice twist to an already favourite topping.

Sweeten your coffee or lattes with it.

Pure Maple Butter or Spread is a favourite on toast, bagels or hot biscuits. It can be used for icing cakes, topping, doughnuts, or a sweet crepe filling. Add it to sweet potato or squash and top with toasted pecans.

Use a dollop with hot apple pie and sharp cheddar cheese. Dissolve it in coffee or lick it right off the spoon.

Pure Maple Cream is eaten like a fudge or candy.

Dissolve it in coffee or break it up over hot oatmeal.

Try grating it and using it for a sweet garnish or a dessert topping.

Pure Maple Taffy is kept frozen until it’s ready to eat. Remove from the freezer and let sit for an hour at room temperature. Or place in the microwave for a few of minutes. Once soft and gooey, it’s ready for your taste buds to enjoy. Most people eat it with a spoon right out of the dish or container. Freeze the remaining taffy as soon as you’re done or it will turn sugary if left unfrozen.

Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup is used anywhere you would use the regular maple syrup.

Use it as a topping, mix it in a cocktail, sweeten your coffee or even do some cooking with it.

Let us know your favourite use of it.

Maple Jelly is consumed the same way most jams or jellies are eaten. It is most commonly spread on toast, bread or biscuits.

You could try it on waffles, French toast or pancakes. You can also spread it as the middle of a layer cake.

Use your imagination.

Pure Granulated Maple Sugar can be used to sweeten most anything. It can be substituted anywhere in cooking.

It is more concentrated than maple syrup so it may provide a much more intense maple flavour to your meal.

Substitute 1 cup maple sugar for 1 cup of white sugar. It dissolves well in hot beverages and makes a perfect garnish for whip cream.

Novels explore family relationships

By Cath Collette

T

he novels Oil People and Hello Beautiful are two portrayals of family relationships with widely different tones and settings.

In Oil People, Halifax-based author David Huebert depicts oil farming in the mid-1800s and the effect on generations of the Armbruster family.

Early oil drilling in southwestern Ontario is shown using sensory descriptions and mysticism that reach gothic levels at times. In this novel, Huebert’s format freely spills relevant information between scenes.

Thirteen-year-old Jade Armbruster is coming of age as her parents argue whether to sell the oil museum that is their home.

Their Canadian Petroleum Legacy Museum house and property is in severe disrepair. The land is contaminated from oil drilling in the 1800s, as seen by the “black gunk dripping from the mouth of the garden hose”.

Jade’s mother inherited the museum and says that oil is life. Jade answers, “But it’s dead, right?”

The older sister, Angie complains that her mother’s beloved property is contaminating their lives. She shows her journalism-student boyfriend the creek clogged with dead fish, trees with too much sap that is the wrong color and more. Local residents have asthma, cancer, leukemia and infertility. One woman

states, “You can’t grow a baby here.”

The Armbruster parents resent Angie, when the article is published in a magazine.

Along with the black webs inside the doublepaned glass of the home and an ever-growing area of oil in the basement: the author shows that oil is in the bones and spirits of some family members. The mother has blackish teeth and sees the spirit of her sister that was killed by fire in the home years before. Jade sees apparitions of the same girl, her Aunt Poppy, and others.

Jade is negatively affected by encounters with the spirit of her greatgreat grandfather, Clyde Armbruster. Clyde started the oil wells and died in one, under suspicious circumstances.

The amount of toxins keeps rising in the area and there is again a spill at a nearby factory. This time dry cleaning fluid forms a giant ‘blob’ of chemicals in the St. Clair River where Jade and her sometime boyfriend are swimming.

In the second novel, Hello Beautiful, William Waters experiences a different type of toxicity during his life. In this novel

by Ann Napolitano, fiveyear-old William is ignored by his parents after his three-year-old sister dies in her crib. When William is old enough to put his constant hurt into words he says that his parents “only ever had one child” and it was not him.

William survives his starkly-solitary life through basketball. He took his small self to the playground and taught himself the game. His talent with hoops was recognized in high school, but he was still without a friend.

In university, Julia Padavano is attracted by William’s work ethic and decides she will be his girlfriend. William becomes a part of her family.

Julia and her three sisters compare themselves to the sisters in the classic novel Little Women. On a bad day one of the sisters might be heard to say “I am Beth” today.

The Padavano family’s instant acceptance of William makes his eyes water with emotion as they sit down to TV dinners.

The father is the parent that says ‘hello beautiful’ often to his daughters.

His loving support is his strength, while alcohol and lack of providing for his family are his weaknesses. Julia does not want someone without financial success like her father. She has high expectations of William.

Julia is disappointed when William hesitates when asked about his future. However “Julia specializes in answers.”

Julia tolerates William’s love of playing basketball, which is still his most important survival tool.

William is determined to take serious care of his knee injury, but will just show up for his wedding.

At Julia’s insistence, William notifies his parents that he is getting married.

They send a check in an envelope, with no card. “It felt like something had broken inside William.”

William is grateful to Julia for steering his decisions, however it is too much when she announces that she wants to have a baby. The detached parenting that William experienced makes the thought of being a parent one of his worst fears. When Julia has the baby he leaves and needs to be rescued. It is one of Julia’s sisters that

The father is the parent that says ‘hello beautiful’ often to his daughters. His loving support is his strength, while alcohol and lack of providing for his family are his weaknesses. rescue him in a few ways.

The story arc is wreathed with flowers and weeds until its conclusion of new beginnings and final goodbyes.

In both novels there are tensions within the fam-

ilies. Both ‘Hello Beautiful’ and ‘Oil People’ have tragic elements, but the tone of one novel is on the extreme end of the literary spectrum from the other. Both are available through the Riverview Public Library.

Then and Now –

Riverview High School Class of 1972

A

fter a year of planning, the Riverview High School class of 1972 met over two days, October 4 - 5, 2024, to celebrate our 70th birthdays.

For many of us, 52 years had passed since we last saw our fellow classmates and teachers. What a gift the weekend was; a chance for us to celebrate our birthdays, and to re-connect with each other.

Robert Carroll, Susan (Mitton) Carroll, Linda (Heighton) Covey, Debi (Carroll) Duke, Robert Frost, Jack Irving, Danny Johnson, Ron MacLennan, John McMullin, Debbie Reid, Wayne Swinamer, Joanne Vines and Nancy (Keith) Whiteley. Their absence was keenly felt, and they were commemorated throughout the weekend.

For many of us, 52 years had passed since we last saw our fellow classmates and teachers.

What a gift the weekend was; a chance for us to celebrate our birthdays, and to re-connect with each other.

The organizing committee (Janet Branscombe Howland, John Bureaux, Judy Carll Wortman, Shelley Colwell MacLeod, Brian Frontain, Susan Leaman Rouse, Noanie Miller Plume, Carolyn Mitton Kavanagh, Debbie Steeves Thompson, and Barb Vance Smith) identified eighty-nine students who had attended a grade twelve class in 1972; all but three were located. Sadly, we lost fourteen of our students: David Bartlett,

On Friday night a Meet and Greet for students, guests, and teachers was held at our old High School (now the Middle School on Devere Road).

What joy, laughter, hugs, and bright buzz of conversation filled the old gym!

So many of our 1971-72 school activities took place in that venue: assemblies, comedy and variety shows, dances, winter carnival, movie nights, team sports practices and games, phys. ed. classes,

drama club performances, the coronation of Miss RHS 1971, student government campaigns and elections and of course, our graduation ceremony.

In a place that housed so much of our school history together, it was the perfect place to kick start the weekend!

Our MC, classmate Brian Frontain, welcomed all, and then introduced

our key-note speaker, John Coughlan, fellow classmate and currently a Riverview Town Councillor. John encouraged everyone to participate fully and enjoy every moment of the weekend.

The old gym was transformed with classroom tables covered in red tablecloths made by Carolyn Mitton Kavanagh; a welcome sign, wreath

and other decorations made by Noanie Miller Plume, and amazing display boards designed and created by Judy Carll Wortman. Town and City businesses donated many door prizes. The committee provided finger foods, and ran a cash bar, tended

The evening continued with the showing of a video from 1971-72, and a

slide show, in which pictures, past and present, of all eighty-nine students was showcased, including pictures from our 10th reunion. The presentation was put together by classmate John Bureaux and was a highlight of the weekend, running continuously both nights.

A tour of the school was given and much conversation and re-connecting took place as music from the 70’s played in the background. At the end of a wonderful evening, the cutting of our birthday cake took place - in

celebration of the majority of students who turned 70 in 2024.

Saturday morning the wet weather forced the cancellation of a round of golf; however, in spite of the damp, classmate Becky Dobson led a group on a walk along the Dobson Trail. The trail was the dream realized of Becky’s Dad, Dr. Art Dobson, making the walk especially meaningful for her.

with his MC duties and throughout the evening asked a number of trivia questions. Turns out our recall was not too good; but it was a fun reminder of the way we were, and the way the world was back in 1972.

More door prizes were handed out and we enjoyed a lovely meal together. Next, Greg Conrad, our 1972 valedictorian, delivered a heartfelt and inspiring address.

Greg encouraged us to embrace each day, to

understand the most precious of life’s gifts is life itself, and we should live, as much as possible, in the present.

He implored us to cherish every moment we have with the people who mean the most to us – to hug them, tell them how much they are loved and how much they mean to us.

Greg closed his remarks with a toast to us all: “To today, may you all have an awesome day, and may you all have many, many more tomorrows.

The evening continued with classmate Janice

Mitton Wilkins and her husband, Mark, leading us through a few songs - one of which was our school song, another The Impossible Dream, which we sang at our graduation.

Her beautiful voice and Mark’s amazing guitar playing contributed to many moist eyes.

A time of conversation, picture taking, and passing around of the last of our birthday cake wrapped up the events of this once in a lifetime event. May we nurture the connections we made, and may we meet again, sooner than later!"

CONCERT WILL RAISE FUNDS FOR PRO KIDS

T

he Fox N Hound Pub in Riverview will play host to a concert on May 10 to raise funds for PRO Kids.

PRO stands for Positive Recreational Opportunities.

The town of Riverview, participating organizations, and donors come together to ensure that children whose families are experiencing financial difficulties can participate in recreational and cultural programs they might otherwise miss.

The concert will feature popular local musicians like Boys High School Band – No Name; Gale Force (a barbershop group); Ivan and Vivian Hicks with the Sussex Fiddlers; country artist Kevin Chase; 50s, 60s, and 70s rock and roll band The Retronators; the Dawg House Blues Band.

The music starts at 2 p.m.

Admission is by donation with a minimum of ten dollars; all donations go to PRO Kids.

Organizer Andy Young says that he believes strongly in the value of the PRO Kids program and wants to help.

We decided to make a day of this. We want to raise as much money as possible for the kids.

“So many kids do not get the opportunity to play because of cost. These are talented, good kids, they just need the opportunity.

“We decided to make a day of this. We want to raise as much money as possible for the kids.”

Fox N Hound owner Curtis Strickland said that supporting young people is a family tradition. “My dad did things like this. It brings back good memories, and we want to help kids.” Of the PRO Kids program, Strickland says, “I love it. We are going to have a full house.”

The pub is also gathering suggestions on how to generate donations in other ways.

The River View sales manager Brian Lane and his wife Sandi will also contribute. The couple hosts music evenings at their apartment complex; donations from one of their musical events will go to PRO Kids.

FINDING BALANCE IN LIFE

Why It Matters More Than We Think

W

e often hear the phrase, “Life is all about balance.” But what does that really mean?

What exactly are we balancing, and how do we know when we have found it?

The idea of balance can feel elusive—like something we are always chasing but rarely achieving. Yet, it is an important concept that touches every area of our lives, from how we move our bodies to how we spend our time, fuel ourselves, and navigate daily demands. When

Many of us begin to lose these skills as we age; sometimes without us noticing it happening. The small, everyday movements—like standing on one foot to put on a pair of pants—start to feel harder.

Over time, we begin to compensate, choosing to sit rather than challenge our stability.

Maintaining physical balance reduces the risk of falls, supports joint health, and allows us to move through life with confidence. Incorporating balance exercises and strength training into our routines can help us pre-

Of course, balance is not just physical. The concept stretches into every part of our daily lives, especially when it comes to how we spend our time. balance is off, we feel it— physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Physical Balance: The Foundation When most people hear the word “balance,” they immediately think of physical balance—the ability to stand on one foot or move steadily without falling. While it seems simple, this type of balance is crucial for our long-term health and independence.

Physical balance relies on core strength, coordination, and equal mobility on both sides of the body.

serve this essential skill well into our later years.

Life Balance: Always Moving Of course, balance is not just physical. The concept stretches into every part of our daily lives, especially when it comes to how we spend our time.

Life balance is trickier to define because it looks different for everyone. For many, it means finding the right blend of work, recreation, social connection, and rest. This could involve balancing paid or

volunteer work with time for hobbies, relationships, and moments of quiet.

The challenge is that life’s demands are constantly shifting. What feels like balance one year

might feel overwhelming the next, depending on our stage of life, family responsibilities, or health.

The key is to stay aware and regularly checking in with ourselves: Are we

working too much? Are we making time for joy and relaxation?

Nutrition Balance: Fueling Without Deprivation Another area where bal-

ance plays a critical role is nutrition. The idea of a “balanced diet” is familiar, but it is often misunderstood. True nutritional balance means nourishing our bodies with plenty of

for the occasional treat.

It is about finding that middle ground where food fuels our energy and health without becoming a source of stress, guilt, or obsession. Like all aspects of balance, it is not about perfection - it is about consistency and moderation.

Why Balance Matters When any one area of life takes over—too much work, too little movement, overly strict diets, or a lack of connection—we start to feel “off.” We might experience fatigue, frustration, or even physical pain. The good news? Even small adjustments toward balance can make a big difference.

Balance is not a finish line - it is a practice, something we work on and adjust throughout our lives.

By paying attention to the ways we move, eat, work, and rest, we can create a life that feels more fulfilling.

Balance is not about doing everything perfectly. It is about finding the right mix that allows us to feel good— inside and out.

In this issue, our Q&A is conducted by Don Coleman

DAVID BRIGGS

Q&A – David Briggs of Briggs Maples The River View: When did you start your business?

David Briggs: Briggs Maples Ltd. was incorporated by my wife Sherry and I in 2009.

Since the 1800s in Stilesville, NB, my great-great grandfather “Arthur McNutt Briggs” made and sold maple syrup products, making me a fifth-generation producer, alongside my brother Jason.

What defining moment inspired you to get involved?

Maple syrup was a family seasonal passion.

As a kid, I would head straight to the sugar camp after I got home from school. In 1998 my father expanded our operation, and I passionately joined the business to make it a full time endeavour. I have my father, and the rest of my forefathers to thank for passing on their heritage and traditions.

Do you remember creating your first batch of syrup?

At 10 years of age, I do remember tapping 50 trees behind our barn, collecting the sap and bringing it to my grandmother’s house where she would boil it down in small pots on her wood stove. I would help fill the stove with wood or help to filter it through old cloth strainers.

What will people experience at your retail store?

Our store features our full line of Briggs brand maple products and many other products from local businesses, who we proudly support, that include hundreds of unique gourmet and confectionary items. Our friendly staff offer up samples of some of our products. You can also see in the kitchen where all the bottling, cooking, and manufacturing takes place, and learn about the processes.

Why do you extensively give back to the community?

As a young adult I got involved at our local church as a junior scout leader. Since then, I have dedicated many years and much of my life, giving back to the community. I have helped many organizations over the years; locally, provincially, nationally and internationally, and have traveled to hundreds of meetings/ events throughout Canada and USA.

Is your business local, provincial, national, or international, or all the above?

Our business has an

extensive clientele across Canada. We mail-order/ ship products worldwide, that includes customers in the USA and Japan.

How many different aspects of the maple business do you participate in?

From hobbyists to large scale bulk producers, including equipment and supplies. We do everything from tapping the tree, making the syrup, bottling, and making many other value-added products. We sell retail and distribute our products wholesale, to stores, gift shops and restaurants.

We do remote events and provide maple taffy on a stick at winter carnivals, festivals, and functions, which have included the World Junior’s Hockey Tournament and promoting New Brunswick in Toronto, and I have helped organize international maple conferences and judged maple products at those events.

Do you interact with other maple product producers?

I interact with other maple producers all year round. As an equipment dealer I accurately advise producers on all aspects of equipment, producing,

manufacturing and marketing. I encourage people to get into the industry, to tap their own trees.

This philosophy creates a greater appreciation for all that is Maple.

What additional maple products do you create?

The Briggs Maples brand manufactures a large selection of items ourselves, along with additional products that we source out to other manufacturers. We manufacture “pure” maple syrup, maple butter, maple cream, maple candy, maple sugar, as well as bourbon barrel aged maple syrup, maple candies, maple cotton candy and maple jelly. Items produced by our partners are; maple coated peanuts, cashews & almonds, and maple BBQ sauce. We also manufacture products for a group of local maple producers,

to help them expand their retail offerings.

If you could pick one, what was the most exciting moment for your business, so far?

It was very exciting when my father won the overall master sugar maker award for New Brunswick. Also, Briggs Maples recently won second place in maple candies and third place in maple butter at the international conference in Maine. Opening our first retail space in Chocolate River Station in Riverview, where we created many friendships, and loyal customers who still purchase our products religiously. I think one of the best things or most exciting moments that happens quite often, is seeing a child’s face light up when they try maple taffy on a stick for the very first time.

Do you have any new upcoming business adventures, that you would like to share?

We are always evolving, improving and looking into new ideas and products all the time. At present, I am participating in a food and beverage program, to help grow and improve our business, which is organized by “Savour NB.” The program partners food and beverage owners with a mentor/advisor. We are going full throttle on multiple levels including cross-promoting with other local businesses.

One of our biggest events of the year is the annual Riverview/Albert County Maplefest which occurs on April 5th and 6th. We offer 20% off maple syrup and offer complimentary maple taffy other delicious treats for sampling.
