Saint John

The steep streets of uptown Saint John are lined with charming buildings that reflect the city's rich shipbuilding history.

Saint John's most known attraction is the Reversing Falls, where the Saint John River meets the rising and falling tides of the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy is home to the highest tides in the world: 50 feet.

Sydney, Nova Scotia

Sydney (Nova Scotia) is a Canadian urban community in the province of Nova Scotia. It is situated on the east coast of Cape Breton Island and is administratively part of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality.
Sydney was incorporated in 1904 and dissolved on August 1, 1995, when it was merged into the regional municipality. Sydney is the largest urban centre on Cape Breton Island. Together with Sydney Mines, North Sydney, New Waterford and Glace Bay it forms the Industrial Cape Breton region.

Gaspe

On the warmest summer day, wildflowers sway and hayfields ripple in the cool, brisk breeze that rises off the St. Lawrence Estuary. The easy warmth of sun-drenched meadows framed by the ever-present sea belie the harshness of wintry days when snow covers the ground and ice floes threaten ships making their way up the mighty river. Here, the ancient Appalachians, stretching over 1500 miles (2400 Km) from Northern Alabama across Eastern North America, reach their continental limit to plunge into the sea. It is easy to imagine that one has reached the end of the earth when sea-mists shroud these sculpted cliffs. The Mi'kmaq, who occupied this land when the first Europeans arrived, must have thought so too because they called it 'Gespeg' meaning 'the place where the land ends'.

Montreal

Montreal is a city where french influence and architecture is harmoniously combined with modern life and skyscrapers. The centre of cultural life is found in the restored Old Town where there are six museums devoted to history, religion and the arts.
