New Friends. New Values. New Adventures
Nestled in a tree-lined valley on the banks of the Saint John River, New Brunswick's capital city traces its beginning back over 300 years. Fredericton owes its stature as a city to the presence of Christ Church Cathedral, one of Canada's most beautiful Gothic styled buildings which was completed and consecrated in 1853. Downtown bustles with summer concerts, theatre, walking tours and a colorful farmers' market. The city takes pride in having the title "Poets' Corner of Canada". It is also called the "City of Stately Elms" for the majestic elm trees that gracefully line Fredericton's streets. A walker's paradise, it is filled with historic sites and attractions that beckon visitors to recapture the past. The Fredericton area is a mecca for recreation, fishing, hunting, boating, golfing, and skiing.
