Atlantic Canada is well connected to major North American markets by road, sea, air and rail. In fact, Atlantic Canada is within one day’s driving distance of more than one-third of the entire population of North America. Our five international airports offer dozens of daily flights to major destinations and we have year-round deep-water ports two days closer to Europe than any other port on the eastern seaboard.
People like living and working here. They like the four-season activities, the natural beauty, the welcoming smiles, the pace, the peace and security.
Atlantic Canada is a profitable place to do business!
