Krista Ross: People and City

krista ross: I love how people are actually welcoming us, said Elsaid, according to CTV. When I first came here, I felt like I didn't belong, because I barely knew anyone, but when I started meeting people and talking to them, people were actually nice and were helping me out. Salma Elsaid is from Egypt, and came to Fredericton a year ago. That's exactly what the city and business leaders want to hear. The aim is for the city to increase its population by 1,000 people each year, for the next 25 years and, by 2036, to have four working-aged people in the city, for every retiree. It is time to take our efforts to the next level, and this strategy is going to be our roadmap to get us there, said Krista Ross, the CEO of the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce.
