Important cultural institutions in the city include Laval University, the concert hall, and the Grand Theatre. Winter sports are popular, especially ice hockey and skiing. Popular events include the 3-week-long Winter Carnival and the Provincial Exhibition.
Charlottetown is the capital and commercial center of Prince Edward Island.

To get a taste of maritime culture, listen to a fiddler's reel, go to the local theater, or enjoy the Winter Carnival.
St. Pierre, lying off the shores of Newfoundland and first claimed by France in the 1500s, represents the only French holding left in North America. Explore St. Pierre's quaint village of brightly colored houses and rural fishing communities, then embark Le Levant and watch for whales and puffins as the ship sails into the late-setting sun.

If it's art and culture you seek, you'll find it in spades, with options ranging from Atlantic Canada's largest university to the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra.

Discover historic dockside vessels at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Stroll lazily through one of the finest Victorian city gardens in North America. Experience the charm of Peggy's Cove, as ships from every corner of the globe sail by in the background.
Portland has a thriving waterfront in the heart of downtown that is a hodgepodge of condos, fish markets, and ferry docks. Bordered by Maine's rocky coast to the north, and miles of white, sandy beaches to the south, the city offers hiking, sailing, kayaking, snorkeling, and fishing, and to the west and north lies some of the best skiing in the world. This is Maine, "the way life should be".
Stroll the cobblestone streets of one of America's most historic cities, home to such patriots as Paul Revere, Ben Franklin, and Drew Bledsoe.
