Traveling in New Brunswick
New Brunswick, Canada is a land with more forests than people. Most of the people in New Brunswick live on the western side of the province, or the eastern and southern coastlines. Most of the province is made up of softwood and maple forests. The more rural areas of New Brunswick are full of small rivers, lakes and swampland, making this area a dream for explorers.
Keep in mind that this area is the only part of Canada that is constitutionally bilingual. While a majority of the residents speak English, there is a substantial minority of French speakers.
Regions
This Atlantic province is divided into five different regions. The Acadian coast is where you'll find the most French-speaking citizens. You'll know their dialect immediately with the soft trills of the French "r." Saint John River Valley is home to several small towns and cities along the Saint John River including the capital of New Brunswick, Fredericton. The Bay of Fundy is the coastal region along the bay, and is home to some of the highest tides in the world. The Miramichi River Valley is the central part of the province filled with forests and hills. The Southeastern New Brunswick region is mixed with French and English enjoying the beaches along the Atlantic coast.
