Market Square, uptown. May 18th marks the 229th anniversary of the landing of
the first Loyalist fleet in 1783, as well as Saint John’s 227th birthday,
as Canada’s first incorporated city, in 1785, a direct result of the
Loyalist landings. It was also a direct result of Loyalist landings that New
Brunswick became a separate province from Nova Scotia in 1784. We are very
excited about this year’s Loyalist Day celebrations and hope to have more
people than ever participating with us, as once again Lieutenant Governor
Graydon Nicholas, will be speaking and Saint Mary’s Band will be
performing at this year’s ceremonies. The celebrations begins on Sunday,
May 13 at 10:30 am with a special Loyalist Day church service at historic
Trinity Anglican Church on Germain St., with members of the United Empire
Loyalists’ Association attending in period dress. On Friday, May 18
ceremonies at City Hall Plaza begin at 10:15 am, featuring the Lieutenant
Governor, Saint Mary’s Band, local school children’s presentations,
and members of the United Empire Loyalists’ Association in period dress.
Local dignitaries will speak briefly at this occasion. Other highlights of the
programme for May 18th include the Loyalist Day proclamation by the town crier
(in period dress), flag raisings, and the Mayor, serving Saint John’s
birthday cake. At noon on Pugsley Wharf, the 3rd Field Artillery Regiment will
fire artillery guns - Saint John having the unique privilege of being the only
non-capital city in Canada accorded the honour of firing a 21-gun salute in the
absence of a member of the Royal Family. Loyalist House and the New Brunswick
Museum will also be open to the public with free admission in the afternoon.

Trial beautiful and safe by trimming branches, replacing trail markers, and
collecting foreign debris from the beach. NCC has protected 4,000 acres of land
around the Musquash Estuary- New Brunswick's first Marine Protected Area.
Professional biologists will lead the event and teach you about this
biologically rich area where the sea meets the river. The trail is rustic, so
volunteers must be dressed appropriately and be prepared/able to trim the full
trail (10 km return) or helpwith the shorter side trail (3 km return). Why not
spend some time in Nature this Spring? Register to help at
