We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

  • Village of Port Elgin, New Brunswick
    Community Profile – Village of Port Elgin, New Brunswick 1.0 General Introduction 1.1 Introduction The community profile was prepared using key socio‐economic data from the 2001 and 2006 Statistics Canada data. For purposes of comparison and analysis the profile also includes provincial data, where available. 1.2 Location Port Elgin is located in the southeastern portion of the province of New Brunswick in the Westmorland County (Latitude 46.05° N, Longitude 64.09°W). It is situated 11km away from the Nova Scotia border at the mouth of the Gaspereau River which empties into Baie Verte. The village is located approximately 27km away from the Confederation Bridge to Price Edward Island. Port Elgin is located 39.0km, 34.8km, and 71.6km from Amherst, Sackville and Moncton respectively. The provincial capital of New Brunswick, Fredericton, is 239km to the west and Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia, is 231km southeast. Port Elgin also acts as a small service centre to the surrounding rural areas of Baie Verte, Pointe de Bute, Jolicure, Bayside, Timber River, Murray Corner, Cape Tormentine and Melrose. 1.3 A Brief History Prior to the arrival of European settlers, the Port Elgin region was temporarily inhabited by the local Mi’kmaq populations. The Mi’kmaq used the area along the Gaspereau River for summer hunting and fishing camps. The Port Elgin region was first settled by the Acadians in 1690. In 1751, the French constructed Fort Gaspareaux at the mouth of the Gaspereau River as a strategic point against the British. The Fort granted the French access to the Northumberland Strait and was strategically placed to ensure easy access to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
