City of Miramichi

The City of Miramichi, population 18,000, is located on the east coast of New Brunswick and the shores of the beautiful Miramichi River. The river offers whitewater opportunities for canoe and kayak, and angling for Atlantic salmon and brook trout. About one-half of the sport catch of Atlantic salmon in North America is landed on the Miramichi River and its tributaries. The warm waters of Miramichi Bay offer an ideal setting for sailing enthusiasts during summer and, in winter, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling is available on an extensive network of trails which also supports hiking, cycling, and birding in the summer.

Miramichi enjoys one of the lowest cost of living environments in the country, and minimal commute to work times. Residents only need a weather report; no traffic report is necessary. In addition to a full range of summer and winter sports programs and facilities, the city offers a regional hospital and community college.
