Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2013 http://archive.org/details/intercolonialoutOOinte THIS IS A PREFACE. HAVE been told that there are well authenticated instances of people who read all that was worth reading in the first edition of this book, because they liked the preface. While this is less remarkable than if they had read the preface because they liked the book, it is pleasing to any getter up of guides to know that anybody but himself and the proof reader will peruse his work, just as if it were a Book of Jokes, or one of Zola's realistic narratives of life among the lowly. In the consciousness of this, he can rise superior to the author of the biggest dictionary on earth. With this intent there is a preface to this edition, though there is nothing to be explained, and no earthly need of an introduction of any kind. I have no idea how many editions of the Intercolonial Guide have been sent out. but the rapidity with which they have been exhausted, proves that a book, well printed and nicely illustrated, will not fail to have a large circula- tion, if it is distributed free of charge, and the distributor is as active as he ought to be. A knowledge of this should bring much comfort to young and struggling authors. This is the second revision of the original story. It was all true enough in the first instance, but this is a great and growing country, and every year brings changes. Even if this were not so, it would be impolitic to tell so much that nothing could be added. Men who write guide books must live with an eye to the future. While the present edition contains much that was in the others, either word for word, or disguised with more or less ingenuity, a large amount of really fresh matter has been scattered through the pages in such a way that, to be sure of finding it all, the whole book must be read. It may also interest the compilers of certain other guides to know that some typographical errors, which they have been copying without credit, have been corrected so as to make the matter more worthy of appropriation than in the past. Apart from any fresh errors that may occur this time, the following pages do not tell half the truth. That is because there is not room for it. No book can say, in reasonably brief compass, all that ought to be said of PREFACE. this country and its attractions. If it successfully hints at what may be enjoyed, the traveller can have plenty of fun in finding out the rest for himself. As far as space would allow, I have tried to be truthful, and have, in some instances, put the figures in fish stories considerably below those fur- nished by the men who said they weighed and counted the fish. While their statements were probably true, a stranger might be disposed to doubt them, and so have a distrust in regard to other allegations which it is important he should believe, whether they are true or not. A few dozen, or even a few hundred fish, should not be allowed to interfere with the more important interests of a great national highway. If there is anything else about which the reader is in doubt, further explanations may be had by addressing W. KILBY REYNOLDS. St. John, N.B., May, 1891. A RAMBLE AND A REST. [ ESS than a generation ago the Maritime Provinces of Canada were as far -^ removed from the ordinary course of tourist travel as is the Island of Newfoundland to-day. Within a score of years, even, their beauties were unknown save to those who were willing to sacrifice their comfort, journey without the aid of railways and rough it for hundreds of miles in what was then, as much of it is now, a land of the forest and stream. The railway era had begun, but there was little more than a beginning. Here and there was a piece of road connecting two points, which were then, and seemed destined to be, unimportant and slow of growth. Wide gaps separated the principal cities, and a wider gap separated the provinces by the sea from the rest of the great Dominion. The most convenient way of reaching this part of the world from Quebec, or any point west of it, was by a round-about railway journey through the United States, and thence by a sea voyage to St. John or Halifax. The tourist who wrote a book came occasionally and found much to interest him. Then he went home and told the world what a quaint and curious country he had found by the shores Down East. Under the most favorable circumstances he had seen very little of it, but he knew more about it than most of his readers knew, and his story, a burlesque though it might be, was an authority with the rest of the world. Since then the times have changed. In the meantime, busy hands were at work in the Provinces. The gaps were closing. The construction of the Intercolonial Railway had been one of the terms of Confederation, and year by year the work was pushed forward until there appeared one of the most substantially constructed and best equipped lines in the world. To-day there are about 1,200 miles of Govern- ment Railway connecting the city of Quebec with the Maritime Provinces, while the numerous connections, under the control of private companies, aid in giving access to some of the most attractive places for summer travel to be found on the continent of America. In former years, before the American tourist had been awakened to the possibilities of this country, the usual goal of summer journeyings was the city of Quebec. Reaching that place the steps were retraced, and with good reason, for beyond it, to the south and east, the map showed nothing to tempt the pleasure seeker further. On the map of to-day may be trace 1 — 6 a line which stretches along the Lower St. Lawrence, through the famed Metapedia Valley, skirting the equally famous Baie des Chaleurs, and on through New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to the city of Halifax. Arms reach out here and there, reaching to St. John on the west, and Sydney, Cape Breton, on the east, while still another branch traverses the Garden of the Gulf, known as Prince Edward Island. This is the Intercolonial Railway. Built from a commercial point of view, the wonderful opportunities for the health and pleasure seeker were never dreamed of in the early days. Now it has become the great avenue of travel for those wjio seek rest and recreation in a glorious summer land. Not that there is ever a crowd and a crush, such as the true pleasure seeker aims to avoid. In the area of territory reached by this railway there are so many places which attract that the lover of the quiet in nature can always find his peaceful haven. It is a country of refreshment and rest for those who desire such, as well as a paradise for the fisherman and sportsmam One can] enjoy the solitude of nature, free from the intrusion of the crowd, and yet enjoy the privileges of the daily mails and the telegraph. And withal it is a part of the earth in which one may enjoy a maximum amount of pleasure with a minimum of outlay. To the world-weary tourist, who has been used to the confusion of the conventional summer resort, there may come a vision of this country, a country which lies by the sea aud is fanned by cooling breezes from the ocean. In this land are green hills, shady groves and fertile valleys. From the distant mountains the crystal brooks come leaping with the music of gladness, and join with noble rivers in whose clear waters dwell lordly salmon and scarce less lordly trout. Near at hand are forests, as yet so little disturbed that the moose, caribou and bear, now and again visit the farm- yards of the adjacent settlements, and gaze in bewildered surprise at the man whose hand is raised to slay them.

JAY UNDERWOOD........ 130 FRONT COVER: When the Intercolonial Railway of Canada opened its through line from central Canada to Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1876, the passengers had a choice of several different types of accommodation. Most sumptuous and elaborate was the first class sleeping car exemplified by sleeper "Restigouche", of which this is an interior view. Notice the elaborately carved woodwork, the fancy oil lamps, the plush seats, the decorated ceiling and the beautiful carpet; all typical of the later Victorian era. At the end of the car is a small but adequate buffet, and each section has its own table on which food could be served. The "Restigouche" was like a hotel on wheels during the trip of more than 24 hours to Halifax. Additional photos of this car appear on page 123. Photo courtesy of the New Brunswick Museum.

PARKS OF THE MIRAMICHI THE ENCLOSURE (WILSON’S POINT) CHAPTER I In the beginning, the Enclosure, or Wilson’s Point as it is also known, was part of the land given to Nicholas Deny in 1653. Nicholas Deny and his son, Richard, were two of the first settlers at the Point. It was Richard Deny, his son, who built the fort on the Enclosure. When Nicholas died in 1688, all the settlers who had come with him moved away and were forgotten. Wilson’s Point was first known as Beaubear’s Point. It was called after a man named Boishebert. He was the leader of all the French settlers in Acadia. In 1755, thirty-five hundred of these French settlers moved to the Miramichi.

    Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 CAUT Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 The following document offers the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) recommended territorial acknowledgement for institutions where our members work, organized by province. While most of these campuses are included, the list will gradually become more complete as we learn more about specific traditional territories. When requested, we have also included acknowledgements for other post-secondary institutions as well. We wish to emphasize that this is a guide, not a script. We are recommending the acknowledgements that have been developed by local university-based Indigenous councils or advisory groups, where possible. In other places, where there are multiple territorial acknowledgements that exist for one area or the acknowledgements are contested, the multiple acknowledgements are provided.

    AIMS 4TH ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL REPORT CARD (RC4) New Brunswick Anglophone High Schools In our efforts to expand the comprehensiveness of the school report cards, we have an additional dimension in our framework this year: school-assigned grades in math and language arts. As New Brunswick (regrettably) has phased out the use of standardized testing for the Anglophone high schools, future Report Cards will see this breadth of data decline. That change is already having an impact in this Report Card, as insufficient data is available for several schools on the last round of examinations, forcing us to leave them out of the final overall rankings for the first time; Moncton High School and Sir James Dunn Academy being just two examples. Harvey High School earned the highest grade (B+) among the New Brunswick Anglophone schools. Harvey High did particularly well on the contextually adjusted scores, earning an A. Fredericton High School had the province’s second-highest ranking, earning a B. Several schools made considerable improvements over the past year, including Dalhousie Regional High School, Sussex Regional High School, Oromocto High School, John Caldwell School and J.M.A. Armstrong/Salisbury Middle School, which all improved from a C+ to a B, and Southern Victoria High School, which improved from a D to a C. Several schools declined in performance over the past year. Notably, Saint John High School fell from a B+ to a B; Cambridge-Narrows School fell from a B+ to a C+; and Sugarloaf Senior High School fell from a B to C+ as did Tantramar Regional High School, Riverview High School, and North & South Esk Regional High School.

  • Unsettling the White Noise: Deconstructing the Nation-Building
    Unsettling the White Noise: Deconstructing the Nation-Building Project of CBC Radio One’s Canada Reads By Emily M. Burns A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in the Department of Gender Studies in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada August, 2012 Copyright @ Emily M. Burns, 2012 Abstract The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Canada Reads program, based on the popular television show Survivor, welcomes five Canadian personalities to defend one Canadian book, per year, that they believe all Canadians should read. The program signifies a common discourse in Canada as a nation-state regarding its own lack of coherent and fixed identity, and can be understood as a nationalist project. I am working with Canada Reads as an existing archive, utilizing materials as both individual and interconnected entities in a larger and ongoing process of cultural production – and it is important to note that it is impossible to separate cultural production from cultural consumption. Each year offers a different set of insights that can be consumed in their own right, which is why this project is written in the present tense. Focusing on the first ten years of the Canada Reads competition, I argue that Canada Reads plays a specific and calculated role in the CBC’s goal of nation-building: one that obfuscates repressive national histories and legacies and instead promotes the transformative powers of literacy as that which can conquer historical and contemporary inequalities of all types. This research lays bare the imagined and idealized ‘communities’ of Canada Reads audiences that the CBC wishes to reflect in its programming, and complicates this construction as one that abdicates contemporary responsibilities of settlers.

Puppies have arrived with the peepers and the soft hues of green in the Bear River valley. Life is good! We both LOVE this time of year with the feeling of freshness around us! Spring has been busy at Mahoosuc…nothing new there! We did our last winter trip to Ouje-Bougoumou, Quebec with Cree guides, David and Anna Bosum, and a handful of privileged clients at the end of March/early April. We attended the winter festival at the cultural center and welcomed the snowshoe walkers who had been on a three- week walkabout. During our camping bush experience, we helped trap beaver, snare snowshoe hare, set a fish net under the ice for a variety of species—including northern Pike and whitefish—help tan moosehides, prep and stretch black bear hides, snare grouse and listen to stories by our exceptional guides Anna and David. The visit to the new museum in Ouje was also a treat. Next spring, we plan to offer a trip during the annual goose break, which will be a unique cultural experience of spending time with many families “in the bush” hunting for goose and “living together” away from town in a more traditional way. This will be in mid April. We hosted another wedding at Mahoosuc Mountain Lodge for one of our guides, Ray Cooley’s daughter, Jennie, and her new husband Ron. It was a beautiful day and an event that will be remembered by all the family and friends.

  • Miramichi Renowned for Salmon Fishing, but Delightful for Canoes and Kayaks by Janet Wallace
    The mighty (and serene) Miramichi Renowned for salmon fishing, but delightful for canoes and kayaks by Janet Wallace e float down the river, no need to paddle for stretches at a time as our kayaks are carried along by the gentle current. Tiny sandpipers skim across the water while Wkingfishers chatter, swoop and dive. Occasionally, a bald eagle glides overhead. This is the mighty Miramichi in its tranquil stage. Just an hour later, after the day heats up and the cicadas start to sing, we hear rushing water. It sounds like a waterfall as though we might soon plummet down a raging chute… But it’s just a stretch of white water; not rough enough to be dangerous but fast enough to be exciting. We’re in the middle of New Brunswick on the main southwest Miramichi River. Known for salmon fishing, the waters around Doaktown are perfect for kayaking or even tubing. Before last summer, the Miramichi River had an almost mythical quality for me. I had heard so much about it—the log drives, the fly fishing, the celebrities (ever heard the story of Marilyn Monroe on the Miramichi?), yet I had never seen the river—only the estuary where the river opened into the Gulf of St. Lawrence at the city of Miramichi. The Miramichi River and its tributaries (the largest Atlantic salmon-bearing system in the world) cut across the centre of New Brunswick in a diagonal line. To follow the river route by car, the easiest way is start in Boiestown, less than an hour’s drive northeast of Fredericton on Highway 8.
