Some reasons to explore Atlantic Canada
Atlantic Canada is made up of the four most eastern Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island. Over 2.3 million people call Atlantic Canada home.
Atlantic Canada is well connected to major North American markets by road, sea, air and rail. In fact, Atlantic Canada is within one day’s driving distance of more than one-third of the entire population of North America. Our four international airports offer dozens of daily flights to major destinations and we have year-round deepwater ports two days closer to Europe than any other port on the eastern seaboard.
People like living here. They like the four-season activities, the natural beauty, the welcoming smiles, the pace, the peace and security.
