ATLANTIC PROVINCES
ATTRACTIONS OF CANADIAN DISTRICTS. OTTAWA. Canada’s Atlantic Provinces attract many visitors from different countries in various manners. Inland, all three provinces offer everything the vacationists could wish for, scenic loveliness, pastoral beauty and wooded uplands, which call to the ardent angler or hunter, while the deep-sea fisherman or sailor will find the Maritimes a land where men go down to the sea in ships. In addition the historic appeal is equally great throughout the country. Still to be seen are many old aboideaux and dykes of the early Acadians. The combination dyke and bridge principal was brought over from Normandy by the Acadians when they settled in this part of the New World. The National Parks recently added another attraction by releasing two families of beaver, the national animal of Canada, in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. The beaver, trapped for his fur in bygone days, has been extinct from this part of the country for over one hundred years. The people of Cape Breton are predominantly of Scotch ancestry and possibly more Gaelic is spoken there than in the Scottish Highlands themselves.
