Flat Stanley Visits New Brunswick

Hi Jada,

As requested, some pictures of Flat Stanley at some of the top attractions in New Brunswick.  I hope that someday you and your family will be able to visit these attractions and other great attractions that New Brunswick has to offer.  Good luck with your project.

This is a picture of the New Brunswick flag.  The gold lion on the red background is a symbol for the King of England.  The ship is a symbol of the importance of shipbuilding to the development of New Brunswick.  The flag was adopted on February 24, 1965.

 New Brunswick was named after a Germanic title, the Duke of New Brunswick, held by George III of England in 1794 when the province was established.


The Acadian Flag is the same as the Flag of France except for the gold star in the top left corner.  Acadia refers to the area the French colony where Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and NewBrunswick are today.



























Whale watching is a popular tourist attraction along the Bay of Fundy Coastal Drive.  The Bay of Fundy is famous for having the world's highest tides.





































































Parlee Beach Provincial Park is the warmest salt-water beach in Canada.  There is swimming, volleyball, sand sculptures and camping in this area.




Acadian Coastal Drive gives you beautiful views of the saltwater beaches.
