COVER STORY Atlantic Canada is defined by rugged coastlines, charming coastal cities and a deep sense of history. The Canadian provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island combine dramatic natural scenery and warm maritime hospitality. Visitors can hike along towering sea cliffs, sample locally inspired cuisine by the waterfront, or stroll the cobblestone streets of Halifax and St. John’s.
