Saint John Essentials

Saint John, Canada’s oldest incorporated city, is defined by its Loyalist history and the dramatic tides of the Bay of Fundy. This collection features the Saint John City Market, a National Historic Site operating since 1876, and the Reversing Falls Rapids, where the river flows backward at high tide. Architectural landmarks include the 1913 Imperial Theatre and the Carleton Martello Tower from the War of 1812. Natural spaces range from the 2,200-acre Rockwood Park to the coastal scenery of Saints Rest Beach, alongside historic military sites like Fort Howe and Fort La Tour.
