The Town of Riverview - A Close-Knit Community with Big Impact
The map above highlights the charm and character of Riverview—a small yet vibrant town nestled along the Petitcodiac River, just across from Moncton. While close in proximity, Riverview stands apart with its own distinct sense of community, culture, and small-town appeal. Residents enjoy access to all essential amenities and services, without sacrificing the warmth and ease of a quieter lifestyle.

Welcome to Retirement Miramichi!
A Peaceful Retirement Community in the Heart of Miramichi, New Brunswick
Nestled in a quiet, friendly corner of what was once the town of Chatham (now part of Miramichi, NB), Retirement Miramichi offers a warm and welcoming environment for retirees seeking comfort, community, and affordability.
The community occupies the former grounds of CFB Chatham, a once-bustling military base that housed families from 1940 until its closure in 1996. In 1997, the area was thoughtfully revitalized and transformed into Retirement Miramichi - a private, non-profit organization created to support and strengthen the local economy.
Today, Retirement Miramichi provides a selection of well-maintained, affordable rental homes designed specifically for retirees from across Canada.

Visualizing Mental Health Awareness Through Mapping
Developed as part of Mental Health Awareness Week to help shed light on the importance of recognizing and understanding mental health challenges. While the topic may be difficult, increasing awareness is essential for fostering empathy, support, and informed action.
Using data visualization, particularly through mapping, offers a powerful way to simplify complex information. By layering data with color and charts, patterns and correlations become easier to identify and interpret. In this particular map, the pie charts appear similar due to the close percentage values across each health zone—highlighting the consistent impact of mental health issues throughout the region.
