Another regular event is the annual Highland Games, held at Government House on the Saint John River. This event commemorates the large influx of Scots immigrants to the Maritimes (eg. Nova Scotia is "New Scotland" where Gaelic is still spoken in some areas). Contestants from all across the Maritimes converge for Highland dancing, music and 'heavy lift' contests of strength. The Games were selected as a winner of the 2002 Attractions Canada Provincial Award, with the Games usually held at the end of July each year. Details at 'www.nbhighlandgames.com' Photos of some of the dance expositions with Government House (the original seat of British colonial government) in the background. Leave a Comment

King's Landing Historical settlement is located outside Fredericton about 20 minutes to the west. This is a collection of period homes, the King's Inn pub, a water-driven sawmill and a sailboat from the 1700's, staffed through the summer with volunteers who re-inact life as it was at the time. This attraction was recently voted as the best in Canada, even in competition with the Calgary Stampede. Leave a Comment

Hopefully you will not have to visit this place, but here is some information on the fredericton hospital if you need it. It is located in the middle of Fredericton at 700 Priestman Street (just off regent). Follow the green H sings. Leave a Comment

If for some reason you need to contact the police there is a big police departement just at the top of Regent Street (1445 Regent Street ). Phone: 452-3400. Fredericton also has a City police department downtown.
Stay safe. Leave a Comment

Take the walking tour of the downtown area (brochures are available at City Hall). Fredericton is a government/university city with a relatively small population of about 50,000, situated along the beautiful Saint John River (also known as the Rhine of America). It is steeped in tradition from the 1700's when Britain and France were fighting for control of North America. Consequently, there are several attractions related to military and local history dating from this period. Photo of some of the troops involved in the changing of the guard ceremony (in front of City Hall) held every daylight hour through the summer. Leave a Comment

Across from the Province House (as you can see in the reflection), this Gallery houses various Canadian and Provincial artwork. Leave a Comment

Listening to the local radio station (Radio Fredericton?) on my transistor radio. Some great country songs including: 'Strange Things Happen in This World' ('Last night at the dance I met Mary...') and 'Down in the Boondocks (?sp)'. I've always remembered those two in particular, but never heard them played since. And li'l old Brenda Lee!! Anyone in Canada got a CD? Leave a Comment

Not spectacular, but wonderfully charming, are New Brunswick's 160 or so quaint covered bridges, gentle reminders of the past. You'll enjoy driving through the longest in the world, stretching 1,282 feet over the Saint John River at Hartland. The only covered bridge I remember crossing was in Quebec province when I visited Ottawa. I still remember the rattling noise of the timbered decking!! Hartland is to the northwest of Fredericton.

this is the only photo I have of me in Canada. It was taken at Lauvina Camp, an old Indian settlement, near the village (maybe town now) of Geary which is about 5 miles south of Camp Gagetown. I still remember well those old Army Bell tents! We used to walk for miles along the dirt roads and tracks. A fondest memory of Geary was the little general store on the corner of the track leading to Lauvina campsite. It used to be open until late at night, and there was nothing better than to eat a delicious icecream in the heat of the evenings. Leave a Comment
