In honour of CANADA DAY I plan to post a daily image of Canada and a link to a random Canadian location we have visited.
St. Martin's New Brunswick - random post
New Brunswick has a population in 2023 of approximately 834,691.
Fredericton is the capital of New Brunswick though Saint John is the most populous city.
New Brunswick is the only province in Canada that is constitutionally bilingual. French is spoken by about a third of the population, especially by people of Acadian origin.
One of the cool facts about New Brunswick is that it’s home to the Hartland Covered Bridge in Hartland, New Brunswick. Not only is it a National Historic Site but it’s the longest covered bridge in the world. It was built in 1901 and for its time was an engineering phenomenon with a span of 390 metres (1,282 feet). Back in 1906 it was a toll bridge and cost $0.03 per person.
Magnetic Hill in Moncton is a gravity hill and an optical illusion. You can experience it today by paying a fee for the experience; then put your car in neutral where you will roll backwards though it will feel like you’re going uphill.
Canada consists of 10 provinces and 3 territories
