Learn the province
\n<\/strong>The New Brunswick coat of arms<\/a> has a shield in the centre with a gold lion sitting on the top that symbolizes the province\u2019s relationship with Britain. Underneath, a ship can be seen in open water against a gold backdrop celebrating New Brunswick\u2019s maritime and shipbuilding history. Centered above the shield is an Atlantic Salmon, leaping from golden maple leaves whilst wearing the St. Edwards crown on its back. On either side of the shield are white tailed deer with antlers; each has a small badge suspended from a friendship collar. On the left, you can see the British Union badge, and to the right is the royal arms of France, symbolic of the French and British settlement of the region.<\/p>\n

Study some history
\n<\/strong>Dive deep into the history of New Brunswick and some sites you\u2019ll visit on tour. Learn what it was like for early French settlers by visiting the open-air Village Historique Acadien<\/a>. There, you can experience what life was like for the Acadian people and other early settlers in the region. Throughout New Brunswick, there are also various forts and defense settlements of both French and British origin that you can visit, such as Fort La Tour<\/a> and Fredericton Military Compound<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Get creative
\n<\/strong>Organize your art supplies and get painting! Pick a particular location you\u2019ll visit on your trip and compare your artwork to photos of the location when you return. Consider painting the Reversing Falls in Saint Johns<\/a> or a portrait of the world\u2019s largest axe in Nackawic<\/a>.<\/p>\n
