New Brunswick, Canada

Crossing into Canada from Calais, Maine, we entered New Brunswick—Canada’s only officially bilingual province, where both French and English are widely spoken. While many Overlanders arriving from Europe via Halifax, Nova Scotia, often rush through New Brunswick on their way to Quebec, we opted for the scenic route—and were richly rewarded.

One of Canada’s thirteen provinces and territories, New Brunswick lies in the Maritime and Atlantic regions. Though modest in size and population, it boasts dramatic coastlines, abundant wildlife, and a vibrant Acadian culture that reflects its unique heritage.
