A native of St. Stephen and former federal government employee will be the Liberal candidate for Charlotte-Campobello in the upcoming provincial elections set for next September. Annabelle Juneau defeated fellow Liberals Ralph Williams and Dave Ganong on Saturday in a packed-house convention at St. Stephen High School.
“I have deep roots in this region, I know it well, and I’m familiar with the working of government,” said Juneau. “So I feel like I could do a lot for this riding if I make it to Fredericton next September.”
Juneau was a federal government employee for 34 years until her retirement late last year. She ended her public service career with Canada Border Services Agency in St. Stephen. The former graduate of St. Stephen High School also spent six years with Human Resources Development Canada, and 15 years with the federal communications department in Moncton where she was the regional operations manager for the Atlantic region.
Juneau says that, if elected, she would support seniors housing, a new building for the fire department on Campobello Island, improvement to education and health services, and job creation.
“This government has a solid record in education, and in health and seniors care too,” said Juneau. “This government has also performed well on the jobs front, especially given that we’re outperforming many other jurisdictions in the midst of a severe recession.”
“I’m anxious to join this Liberal team and roll up my sleeves to help make New Brunswick an even better place to work and live,” added Juneau.
Juneau has deep roots in Charlotte-Campobello. She is the granddaughter of the late businessman Guy R. Day. She also has a business background of her own. Juneau has owned and operated several businesses, including the former Fairy Tales Can Come True and Charlotte County Covered Bridge Tours. She currently owns and operates Nutrition Connection Canada.
Juneau has also volunteered her time to the Charlotte County Cancer Society, the NB Kidney Foundation, and the Aquaculture Fair.
