Online casino guides for New Brunswick, by city and neighbourhood

New Brunswick at a glance

New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province, with English and French given equal status under its Official Languages Act, first passed in 1969. Forest covers the large majority of New Brunswick's land, and forestry and pulp and paper have long been among the province's main industries. The Saint John River, called the Wolastoq by the Wolastoqiyik, flows through Edmundston, Fredericton and Saint John before emptying into the Bay of Fundy. New Brunswick was one of the four founding provinces of Canada at Confederation in 1867, alongside Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec. Close to a third of New Brunswickers speak French as their first language, most of them Acadians living in the north and east of the province. The Bay of Fundy, along New Brunswick's southern coast, has some of the highest tides in the world, and the flowerpot formations of the Hopewell Rocks are its best-known viewing spot. Fredericton is the capital of New Brunswick, while Greater Moncton and Saint John are the province's two largest urban areas. New Brunswick is linked to Prince Edward Island by the Confederation Bridge, which leaves the New Brunswick shore at Cape Jourimain on the Northumberland Strait.
