Looking for advice getting into diesel mechanics (Saint John, NB).

6 Upvotes

I’m looking to get into diesel mechanics but have no experience in the field. I’m wondering what the best place to start would be for someone in my position.
Would you recommend applying for entry-level jobs, trying to get on as a shop helper/apprentice, or going to school first?
I’m willing to learn and put in the work. Just looking for advice from people in the trade about what route they’d recommend and which companies around Saint John might be worth looking into.
Any advice is appreciated!

New Brunswick Accent Help Please!

33 Upvotes

I'm a author writing a few New Brunswickers and really struggling to show how they speak. Can anyone recommend movies, books, podcasts, anything with great NB accents I can listen to and mimic?

Does anyone want to read my dialogue and "translate" it for me?

Looking for a variety of locations and backgrounds.

Why is there a perception in New Brunswick that there hasn't already been an extensive oil and gas industry in certain areas of the province?

16 Upvotes

In all the debate around oil and gas in New Brunswick, people seem to forget that Albert County has produced oil and gas for well over 100 years. It can be argued that Gesner's distillation of Albertite into Kerosene was the start of the entire petroleum industry. There were well over 300 wells drilled in the area over the years. Moncton used to be supplied with natural gas from the Stoney Creek field.

Can someone point me to any reports of issues surrounding oil and gas development in that region?

Here is a link to a map showing modern location of recent wells in New Brunswick.

This is a list of wells that have been drilled in the region.

Anyone else finding online access (paid) to the Telegraph-Journal site really glitchy this week? It opens, then after a few seconds says it’s redirecting… and then gets stuck on the blank redirecting page.

The weather’s great, but I wasn’t expecting mosquitoes this late in October. Granted, we haven’t had any frost yet, either. Escuminac.

Golf Courses Still Open in NB

0 Upvotes

Many courses are now closed for the season, but some of the Southern courses, and the not-so-fancy courses, are still open. Which ones? If possible, list the course, if there’s a known closing date, and if they have abbreviated layout (some switch to 9 holes, no pins, temp greens, etc).

Saint John-SJ Energy queries

5 Upvotes

Hi this is the first time I’m renting an apartment and landlord had told me to setup me account with SJ Energy.

It’s a condo apartment and landlord told me that it averages around $100/month for electricity, heat and hot water for previous tenants. Landlord said I can move in on Saturday at noon

Does SJ energy give data of past bills to new tenants? Also I see it’s written on website that they charge double like 90$ for meter if I need connection out of business hours.

Sorry I’m new to this so don’t know how to set it up
