Despite uncertain economic prospects, and lower growth rates for the provinces themselves, cities in Atlantic Canada are outperforming many of their peers across the country. In fact, two Maritime cities rank in the top 10 among 28 Canadian cities covered in The Conference Board of Canada's Metropolitan Outlook. So what?s the cause of this growth? And will it continue into next year and beyond? Join Alan Arcand from the Conference Board' Centre for Municipal Studies as he provides an in-depth look at the economic outlooks for four cities in Atlantic Canada: Halifax, Moncton, Saint John, and St. John's. Halifax and Moncton rank in the top tier of cities for economic growth in 2016, while Saint John is expected to see growth top 2 per cent for the second year in a row. The situation in St. John's mirrors that of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, but Mature oil wells and a slowing construction sector are expected to hamper growth in 2016.
