Life as it Should Be

Walking Trail

Walk a little taller amidst pristine Victorian architecture and hundreds of acres of manicured urban green space. Moor your boat steps from your front door on the majestic St. John River. Forget you own a car with over 60 kilometers of linked walking and biking trails within city limits. Leave work at 4:45 pm and still make your 5:00 pm tee time across town. Broaden your mind by soaking up the vibrant arts and culture in one of the most creative cities in Canada.
