ATTRACTIVE CITIES OF CANADA

SIMO JELAČA, Ph.D.

PICTURESQUE TOWN OF PICTON

If your route leads from Toronto to Ottawa, about halfway there is the city of Bellville, on the right side of Highway 401. From Belleville, Route 62 leads to the smaller town of Picton, surrounded by bays near Lake Ontario. The town itself looks pleasant, with lots of different flowers on clean streets. There are also small restaurants worth visiting.

Just about a mile or two from the town center, there is a hill called Macaulay Mountain Conservation Area, and there is a natural lake on top of that hill. The lake is surrounded by restaurants, offering a magnificent view of Lake Ontario and all surrounding fields, full of grain, vegetables, orchards and vineyards.

About fifteen kilometers from Picton, on its eastern side is the village of Milford, in which farmers have one very human noble habit. They leave their products for sale at the supervision of visitors, passers-by, to buy for themselves what they need, and leave the money in the box next to the fridge. During this time, farmers work in their fields and have confidence in everyone who goes there. On their open stalls, where they place their products, they keep refrigerators and freezers with measured and properly packaged products with right prices. This is something that should exist everywhere in the world. In these refrigerators and freezers there is milk, cheese, eggs, all kinds of meat, all vegetables, and even wine. In the neighboring town of Milford, there is a good institution for the treatment of children who do not walk, and all of its visitors use this noble privilege of the Picton residents. It's fantastic.

Picton is the largest non-operational community in Prince Edward County in Southeast Ontario. It's the largest communal community and its former headquarters. All artists are independent in their work and are not members of any joint stock companies. Each of them sells their works either in their own houses or in adjacent ateliers. Picton is located at the southwestern end of Picton Bay, the bay of the Bay of Quinte, along the north coast of Lake Ontario. The town was named after General Sir Thomas Picton, the second in the Wellington command in the Battle of Waterloo.

Picton is also located in one of the most beautiful woods of Ontario, suitable for accommodation, camping, for good wines and holidays. The tourism industry is the primary source of income for many residents of the area, especially in the summer period. The Picton Historic Center offers a wide range of shops and services. Prince Edward County is mainly an agricultural area. As such, it abounds in milk and meat products, fruits and vegetables, and the processing and storage of products are very clean.

In the last few years, many craftsmen and artists have moved into this area and opened their own studios. In many local shops, local art and handmade items can be purchased. These products have begun to play a more serious role in the local economy.

In addition, there has been a multiplication of small wineries in the southern half of the district. Fields for sale, especially dysfunctional farms, are often described as ideal locations for new wineries, which means increasing their property values. This region, surrounded by water, turns its head to the fastest growing vineyard. Picton, 2003

THE BAY OF FUNDY

The Fundy Bay, located in eastern Canada between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia is known for its incredible tidal waves. The differences between high and low water levels are the highest in the world, up to a maximum of 19 meters. Very popular Sights along Fundy Bay are cliffs and rock formations, Hopewell Cape, Fundy National Park, Fundy Trail Parkway and Grand Manan Island as natural wonders.

Fundy Bay is a bay on the Atlantic coast of North America, in the northeastern end of the Bay between the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and New Scotia. It touches the United States, the state of Main, in little. Some sources believe that the word "Fundy" comes from the French word "fendu", which means "split", while others believe that it originates from the Portuguese "fanda", which means "deep".

The National Parks of New Brunswick are worthy of discovering their beautiful landscapes, mountains and fjords. Morne Park is under the protection of UNESCO, its steep cliffs, waterfalls and interesting wall formations carved from glacier waters. Most visitors go on a boat trip to enjoy scenery of landscapes, but there are also pedestrian paths and opportunities for kayaking. In winter, the park receives far fewer visitors, but it is open to ski tours, with village huts.

Local tradition is the cultivation of edible dark red sea grass called Dulse. Dulse is native to the North Atlantic and South Pacific, areas where it grows between rocks, in the tidal zone and deeper waters. Fundy Bay in New Brunswick is a great location for growing algae, which are then set on rocky shores to dry in the sun. In Ireland and Atlantic Canada, they usually eat raw and naturally have a salty taste.

Every day 160 billion tons of sea water affects and stands out from Fundy Bay during a tide of the cycle, which is more than a combined flow of all world freshwater rivers!

In addition to the UNESCO-protected national park, this bay has museums and other historical sites.

Lobbies, mussels, smoked salmon, and other fresh fish are the perfect additions to the award winning wine. In addition to the traditional harvest of wild blueberries and maple products in the fusion of restaurants, taverns and agricultural markets, they have a wide selection of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Fundy ecotourism tours include observing whales, kayaking and rafting tours, touring parks, museums, with other amenities as well as accommodation across the Flanders Bay.

Fundy Bay is 270 km long in the form of a funnel divided into two parts. The north east bay is Chignecto, and the Minas Basin is the second. It was formed millions of years ago. When the bays were separated, the deep valleys were formed, which were soon filled with sediment washed from the ground. Every day when the tide is coming the water deposits mud and covers the terrain, infusing rich nutrients, and in its return, the water relates back to the bay.

MONKTON

An area known as Moncton was once an Acadian settlement. Moncton was named after the British soldier, Colonel General Robert Moncton (1755). The rapid development of the city began as a shipbuilding center, and as a city was founded in 1855. A new era of prosperity came with the arrival of the Intercolonial railroad seat in 1871, the forerunner of the CNR (Canadian National Railway). Moncton became the city on April 23, 1890. The coat of arms of Moncton illustrates agricultural, industrial and railway heritage for tourist attractions. The city of Moncton has about 60-70 thousand inhabitants.

The stylish magical water park, the largest in Atlantic Canada, offers something for everyone. The children's entertainment has a swimming pool of 1/4 hectares. This 8 hectare water park is an imperative for a family holiday. Regardless of age or level of ability, everyone is sure to find satisfaction in this unique open space.

Magnetic Hill is Canada's most visited natural attraction, it is fun for everyone!

The phenomenon is caused by a water strike in the Fundy Gulf, the largest in the world, which occurs twice a day. The increased water level in the bay is caused by the Petitcodiac River that flows upstream in one wave, which can range from 30 to 60 cm high. It is spectacular to observe rapid and dramatic changes in the river itself. During the ebb tide, the dormant river bottom is often visible, but within an hour of the arrival of the waves, the water level rises about 7.5 meters and fills the river to its shores. Moncton Market is the most modern market in Atlantic Canada, where fresh produce, baking, ethnic cuisine and craft products are exhibited.

Moncton International Airport has a long history since 1920, until the modern era when the new building of the terminal was opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
