"Fredericton and New Bru ..." a Fredericton Travel Page by Bwana_Brown

Fredericton is the capital of the province of New Brunswick, Canada and is located in the Maritime Provinces (NB, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island) on the Atlantic Coast. It is interesting to note that, when all the contributors and photographers to the National Geographic Magazine were polled 3 years ago for their estimation of the top 50 "must see" things/places to experience based on their World travels, Canada ended up with two "winners". One was to see the Rocky Mountains and the second was to visit the Maritime Provinces to experience the relaxed pace of life, combined with rustic scenery of your choice. A combination of seashores, forests and pastoral farm lands provides a wide variety of visual experiences. This, along with the friendly nature of the inhabitants and the reasonable cost of amenities makes this location a great place in which to spend some time!
