• it is the largest of the three Maritime provinces (yet is only 0.7% of Canada’s total size)
• the longest covered bridge – at 1282 feet - in the world is in Hartland (New Brunswick has 60 covered bridges)
• the largest axe in the world is in Nackawic (it represents the importance of the forestry industry in the province)
• New Brunswick is home to the largest concentration of Acadians in Canada (and is the only officially bilingual province in the country)
• The Bay of Fundy has the world’s highest tides (the difference between high and low tides can be as much as 12 metres)
• the world’s largest lobster is in Moncton (we haven't seen it yet)
There are many other ‘world’s largest’ in New Brunswick, but we have not seen them all yet. I’ll save the others for another trip.
