It is important to recognize the contribution made to the city by the many descendants of the first eight families who arrived in Moncton on June 3, 1766, with the names Jones, Lutes, Ricker, Somers, Steeves, Trites and Wortman. These families now live throughout the world, and this will be a great opportunity to bring them back to Moncton."
