Our Corner of Canada
Atlantic Canada is an area made up of four of Canada's ten provinces.

map of Canada - Atlantic Canada is the eastern end

The provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island are found at the eastern end of the country. (When New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island are considered alone without Newfoundland and Labrador, they are known as the "Maritimes".

The four parts of Atlantic Canada are the smallest of Canada's ten provinces and three territories. Do not think, though, that this is a small region! Canada is the second largest country in the world. By cyclists' standards, even its smallest regions are huge. Each Atlantic Canada province can be the size of many European countries.

With closer inspection, the magnitude of this region can be realized. Its southern point reaches almost as the same latitude as Northern California, or Spain. Here it gets warm enough to grow watermelons, pears and even grapes. From this point, it stretches all the way north to the caribou, tundra and icebergs of the arctic!
