Dominic Cardy Congratulates Mayor, Saint John on Being Named One of Top 7 Intelligent Communities

FREDERICTON – New Brunswick New Democrat Leader Dominic Cardy today congratulated Mayor Ivan Court and the city of Saint John on being named one of the Intelligent Community Forum’s Top 7 Intelligent Communities in the World for 2012. 

Saint John succeeded in large part due to its True Growth Strategy, a community wide initiative that connects people from the health, education, energy, tourism, manufacturing, and information and technology sectors to foster ideas and encourage investment.    

“Saint John is a wonderful city, and it’s great to see that being recognized on the world stage,” says Cardy.”This shows that the people of New Brunswick can work together to build on our rich history and modernize to become world knowledge leaders.” 

In June the Intelligent Community Forum will pick the winner from the “Top 7” list, which also included Canadian cities Stratford, Ontario and Quebec City, Quebec.
