New Brunswick Traveler
New Brunswick is often referred to as the "drive through" province going to Prince Edward Island, or Nova Scotia. But all of that is changing. Our population continues to grow and more and more individuals are making this a destination place, having discovered the natural wonders and fantastic tourist attractions that await.

It's the place for NB travelers and residents to learn and share!
