Introducing Fredericton

The St John River curves lazily through the provincial capital, past the edifices of government on the waterfront and the university on the hill above the city. Its grassy banks are mowed and dotted with fountains, walking paths, playing fields, tall elms and willows. This stretch of riverfront parkland is known locally rather quaintly as ‘The Green.’

Fredericton does quaint very well. The small downtown commercial district is a neat grid of redbrick storefronts. Surrounding it are quiet residential streets lined with tall, graceful elms shading beautifully maintained Georgian and Victorian houses and abundant flowerbeds. A canopy of trees spreads over the downtown, pierced here and there by church spires.
