The Provinces/Regions: The Easternmost portion of the world's second largest nation comprises a wealth of cultures, bucolic beauty and sophisticated cities. Canada's Maritime provinces with coves, fishing villages and inlets reminiscent of Ireland and Scotland are in marked contrast to the cosmopolitan flair and dynamic variety of the cities. Defined by the sea, scenic main roads pass through coastal villages from the picturesque Peggy's Cove to the handsome harbor of Halifax. Scenic byways such as the Evangeline Trail and the Cabot Trail are well maintained popular routes tracing history around each winding bend. Cape Breton Island, the northern extreme of the province, is linked to the rest of the peninsula by a mile-long causeway. New Brunswick is a large province of dense forest and river valleys while the tiny Prince Edward Island is stunningly colorful with green fields, rich red soil and blue sky. The walled cities and French accents of Quebec and Montreal evoke romance and a distinctly continental flair. |
