    Bill Christman [email protected] www.abctravelpros.com 719-445-8698 SAINT JOHN, NB OVERVIEW Introduction Saint John, New Brunswick, also known as "Port City," has some of the highest tides in the world. It's situated where the mouth of the mighty St. John River meets the Bay of Fundy. The funnel-shaped dip in the Atlantic coastline creates tides of up to 55 ft/17 m twice a day. At high tide, the water in the harbor rises an average of 28 ft/9 m and forces the St. John River to flow backward. But Saint John has much more to offer than a simple maritime vacation. Rich in historic architecture, its Trinity Royal area boasts some of the best-preserved, ornate Victorian-era architecture anywhere. Intricately carved fruits and flowers festoon grand brick buildings, and stone gargoyles stare down from the windows of the historic business district. The rich tapestry of the past unfolds in Saint John, the oldest incorporated city in Canada. Partridge Island in Saint John Harbour is Canada's Ellis Island, the first quarantine station for immigrants making their way into the country. As many as 2,000 people died there in the latter part of the 19th century. The site, although now closed to visitors, can be seen from shore. Saint John is also a treasure trove of eco-attractions—from Hopewell Rocks, where you can actually walk on the ocean floor, to parks and beaches inhabited by hundreds of wildlife species. Saint John also boasts the Reversing Falls, a phenomenon created by the awesome force of the changing tide twice a day.

    WHAT TO SEE IN THE CITY AND VICINITY AND HOW TO SEE IT. A Few Facts. St. John is the most populous and progressive city of the Canadian Maritime ProYinces. It is prominent as a commercial centre, and the home of many industries, but chiefly noted as a maritime port, having connections with all parts of the world. Having an ice-free harbor, it is the Canadian terminus in winter for many Trans-Atlantic steamship lines, and through its doors passes a great share of the imports and exports of Canada and United States. During the winter season of November to April, 19flfi-7, there were 116 sailings of Trans-Atlantic steamers from this port, carrying away 19,623,508 dollars worth of export~. while the annual lumber shipments from the port average 80,000,000 superficial feet. But its chief interest for the tourist is in the cool, bracing summer climate, and its convenience as a centre from which to take side trips to the fishing, hunting, scenic and historical places throughout the Provinces. St. John has excellent hotel accommodation at reasonable prices. Evening::; always cool, air pure and refreshing, malaria and mosquitoes unknown. It is situated at the mouth of a noble river, navigable for over 100 miles, having many large tributaries, and this whole inland watercourse is famous for the beauty of its ever-vary­ ing scenerr.

  • Unitarians of Eastern Canada
    UNITARIANS OF EASTERN CANADA By Mike McPhee As this year of 2017 is the 150th anniversary of Canada’s foundation, I mean to extend my earlier report on British Columbia and its Unitarians to the other nine provinces. This will need two instalments, moving from east to west. Canada Day, 01 July, marks the coming into force of the British North America Act, passed in Westminster earlier in 1867. That Act amalgamated the three colonies of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to form the Dominion of Canada and provided its Constitution as a country in its own right. The former colony of Canada was split into its two original components, now called Québec and Ontario. Today, there are four Maritime Provinces, as Prince Edward Island and the former Dominion of Newfound- land and Labrador joined the Confederation later. Indeed, Newfoundland has the distinction of being both the first British possession in North America and the last province to join Canada (in 1949). Together with Labrador, the region’s coasts were explored and settled by Viking, British, French and Portuguese navigators over time. (Labrador is named after the Portuguese captain, João Fernandes Lavrador, who came there in 1498.) Of greatest interest to the various European powers at the time were the Grand Banks on the continental shelf south of the island. They was discovered in 1498 by John Cabot, a Genoese sailor commissioned by Henry VII of England, who reported that the Banks were so full of fish that they could be caught in wicker baskets. 1 Sir Humphrey Gilbert took formal possession of the island under a letter patent from Queen Elizabeth I in 1583, by which time Portuguese, Basque and English fisherman had long been active on the Grand Banks.
