Bilingualism
by fairy_dust
New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province, so everything is shown in English and French. For example, a stop sign will have both "stop" and "arret" written on it. Most of the French-speaking people in Moncton are Acadians, and Acadian culture is a very big part of New Brunswick. Most Acadians and many other people are bilingual.
Hopewell Rocks Park
by Lisser
Massive columns of rock, wearing wigs of gnarled evergreens, stand on absurdly narrow stems of stone. Carved by the mighty tides of the Bay of Fundy, these natural sculptures are nicknamed the 'flowerpot rocks.' During low tide, visitors can pick their way down to the beach and explore rocky columns, caves and crevices. At high tide, the Bay rises to fill the caves and turns the 'flowerpots' into rocky islands! The best time to visit the park is three hours before until three hours after low tide.
Really something to see!!
Moncton
by fairy_dust
Moncton is a small city in the Maritimes. It's a nice place to visit and often a pit stop for people travelling out of the Maritimes. Since New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province, everything in Moncton is in English and French, and Acadian culture is very common. Moncton is big enough to be considered a city, but it is still small enough to have a bit of a quiet small-town atmosphere.

I used to live in Moncton for a few years.
I don't find it's the prettiest place to live. The Petitcodiac River, colloquially known as the Chocolate River, runs through Moncton, and looks more like fecal matter than chocolate.
However, there is beauty if you know where to look for it. The downtown area has been revitalized, and is beginning to look rather nice. Moncton also has an attractive urban skyline, and a vital arts scene. Be on the lookout for frequent cultural events, and make sure you check out the thriving belly dance scene. It's one of Moncton's hidden treasures.
Centennial Park is a nice place to go to commune with nature, as is nearby, and dreadfully fantastic Fundy National Park. Fundy Park must be one of the most beautiful places in the entire world.
