Canadian
province located on the eastern seaboard of the North American
continent. It is Canada's only officially bilingual province, French
and English having equal status. It was one of the four original
provinces making up the national confederation in 1867. Together
with Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, it forms the regional
grouping known as the Maritime Provinces. New Brunswick has a
roughly rectangular shape, about 210 miles (340 kilometres) from
north to south and 185 miles (300 kilometres) from east to west, and
it has an area of 28,355 square miles (73,440 square kilometres). It
is bounded on the west by the U.S. state of Maine, on the north by
the province of Quebec, on the east by the Gulf of St. Lawrence and
the Northumberland Strait, and on the south by the Bay of Fundy. The
latter two bodies of water are separated by the narrow neck of the
Chignecto Isthmus, which joins New Brunswick to Nova Scotia.
