The City of Moncton was declared officially bilingual in 2002.
A third-party company manages the advertising for Codiac Transpo. The transit service wrote that it is not part of the advertising approval process but has already contacted the third-party company to get the ad removed.
“We do require advertising to be respectful toward everyone in our community,” Codiac Transpo wrote.
The Anglophone Rights Association of New Brunswick’s website describes it as the “only organization that represents the Anglophone population.”
In an email the association told Global News that they are “not prepared to meet or have any comment at this time.”
