New Brunswick (NBPNP)
One of Canada's three Maritime Provinces, New Brunswick is recognised for its welcoming and secure communities. It is a province in eastern Canada. With 120,000 people living in its metropolitan area, Moncton is the largest city in New Brunswick. Because of its advantageous location at the junction of PEI, Nova Scotia, and NB, it is also referred to as "The Hub" of the Maritimes. Due to its history as a French colony, New Brunswick has a sizable French-speaking community; one third of its people are fluent in the language in addition to English, which is spoken by the majority of them.
