While traveling we often get asked where we are from. When we tell people we’re from Eastern Canada, we usually get the confident response “oh, you’re from Quebec!” Of the 3 Canadian cities, most people have heard of (Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal) Montreal is the easternmost. However, there’s still a lot of Canada hanging out east of Quebec.
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island may be small, but what they lack in size, they make up for in personality. We Canadians call it “The Maritimes,” and we think there are many reasons you should visit us on the east coast.
Note: If you hear someone mention “Atlantic Canada”, Atlantic Canada and the Maritimes are not quite the same thing. Atlantic Canada adds a fourth province to the group, the province of Newfoundland & Labradour.
