Among other things, go to www.google.ca, yes you want google with domain for Canada.
Search "name Of province" tourism. Email or better call their 800 #. Ask for latest 'visitors guide' and provincial map. Tell person on the phone activities you enjoy (music festivals, hiking, historic sites, beaches...whatever). Chances are they have special booklets for these things to do.
Consider Northern Maine as well. At one time this was part of early Canadian Settlers.
The Maritimes (NB, NS, PEI, or provinces that entered confederation in 19th c.)
New Brunswick:
- Islands of Campobello (Roosevelt cottage), Deer Island, Grand Manan
- Historic Acadien Village
- City Market Saint John
- Fundy Park
- Tidal Bore
Nova Scotia
- Louisbourg historic fortress. It's a reconstruction with staff in historic dress. Food service included. You park in a lot and are bused to the site. Plan on at least 1/2 day. More would be better. The most must do of The Maritimes.
- Historic Halifax
- The Ovens
- Peggy's Cove
- Farmer's Daughter, Whycogamgh.
- Cabot Trail (Cape Breton Highlands National Park, nice, but no comparison to Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland)
- Meat Cove, top of Cape Breton Island
- More tidal things on western side.
PEI
- Historic Charlottetown
- Beaches (haven't done those since age of 15)
- All the stuff about Anne of Green Gables Love all the books, not into things which are like seeing the movie after reading the book. Still many go to them.
- Historic Village as built. Orwell Corner. Staff in timely dress. Animals with babes, ie colts, lambs, piglets, agricultural museum.
- Neighboring Sir Andrew MacPhail Homestead.
- Lobster My fav. New Glasgow Lobster Suppers
- Farmer's Markets, especially Charlottetown.
- Take the ferry to PEI and the Bridge FROM. You pay to cross the water when you leave. Bridge costs less.
Atlantic Canada (means all eastern provinces including Newfoundland and Labrador, which joined Canada in 1949. This is Joey' term)
- Gros Morne National Park. Both north of Bonne Bay and south of Bonne Bay. See visitors centers at both. Tour the fjords at Trout River and Western Brook Pond. & more, Summer Theatre at Cow Head, esp. Tempting Providence (historic Nurse Bennet)
- Other Summer festivals and theatre
- Start at Port aux Basques and work your way up the Northern Peninsula. Take in Viking sites both at southern Newfoundland and the two at the top of the Northern Peninsula. L'anse aux Meadows is a World Heritage site.
- Scads of interest in many a town or village all along the routes to St. John's., which is also of great historic interest.
- Climb Mtn. of Gros Morne
- Bay St. Mary's Bird Sanctuary.
Come back, cross to Labrador. and do lots there.
- Red Bay. Whaling site of Basques whalers.
- Labrador City.
- You can drive all the way. Check about road conditions. It was fine when I did it but sometimes there is a year with poor road conditions.
Have lived in 3 of these provinces. NL for 24.5 years, but back across The Gulf now.
