Good morning!

Did you know? New Brunswick is the largest of Canada’s three Maritime Provinces, with a total area of approximately 73,440 sq. km (28,354 sq. miles). The other two Maritime provinces are Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

Speaking of New Brunswick, it’s a wonderful province to explore. From the famous Hopewell Rocks along the Bay of Fundy to the historic city of Saint John, there are so many things to do and see.

So, in the 130th edition of the Weekly Goose, you’ll find travel guides and videos to many of the top places in New Brunswick, including the Fundy Trail Parkway, Saint John, Grand Falls, and more!

Happy travels!
