Quote From: tray00"As of July 1, 2000, about 757,000 souls are proud to call New Brunswick home, and most of them live along the coasts and in the river valleys. Based on 1996 census results, about 33 per cent of them are French-speaking, and New Brunswick is Canada's only official bilingual province."
Looks like a nice place to live. It was nice to check out the info - I haven't done that since my high school days!
If you find yourself in the northern part of the province, all the way down to the South Eastern coastline, it's all French, or bilingual. The parts of the province that are close to Quebec are all French. St John, Fredericton are mostly English speaking. Moncton is about 40 -60 ratio, French to English.
Anyway, it's a gorgeous province to visit in the summer, in fact all the maritime provinces have a charm found nowhere else. The beaches are fabulous, the ocean is warm, the lobster is to die for and the people are warm and approachable.
Prince Edward Island has beautiful sand dunes, clear reddish sand. The dirt is bright red, just like Australia. Fields and fields of potatoes. Too funny, serve-yourself potato stands. Just leave the money in the jar and take a bag.
Nova Scotia looks like Scotland and Ireland. Rolling hills and huge cliffs off the ocean.
I know I sound like a tourist commercial, but those places hold a special place in my heart.
