Fredericton

Built along both sides of the meandering Wolastoq/Saint John River, Fredericton has a special connection to the water. ‘The Green’ is a long park hugging the banks of the river, and locals value it for the breath of fresh air it provides in the heart of the city. Kayaking, rowing, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding are common pastimes. Plus, beaches, golf courses, gardens and trails combine to make Fredericton a very active, outdoor city.

History lives loud here. Museums, heritage sites, large old Victorian homes, the historic Garrison District, and the legislative assembly create a connection to bygone days that flavours any explorer’s experience.

Culture is vibrant here, with galleries, festivals, and artists’ studios elevating your experience even more.
