W hat started as an outing to watch some whales turned into a love for a small island known for being the gateway to the Bay of Fundy. The drive to Brier Island was amazing, through coastal villages with two ferries offering opportunities to stretch your legs, meet others travellers and take some amazing photos of the area and views. Once we arrived to our des- tination, The Brier Island Lodge, we were great by an amazing staff and given our rooms. The view from the main lounge was breathtaking as we check in and had the opportunity to speak with Virginia Tudor for the first time. As you will read in David MacDonald’s story about Brier Island and the Lodge, you will see that Virginia is an amazing ambassador for the area and advocate for the eco- tourism industry. After an amazing meal at the Lodge in their beautiful restaurant that feature not only delicious food but a fantastic view regardless of your table. Once having had the chance to retire to our rooms, each having its own magnificent view. We had a great evening and woke in the morning to head out on our whale watching adventure. It was a beautiful morning, not a cloud in the sky and the water was calm as could be. We spent about two and a half hours out on the Bay of Fundy, unfortunately it was early June and the whales were more interested in feeding then coming up to see us, but the cruise was still joyful and very educational. The tour operators were quick to point out rare birds and wild life and give a history of the waters and the area making the cruise very enjoyable with or without the whales. Once we returned to the dock and were back on land we roamed the Island and what it had to offer. We were amazed that we had never been to this beau- tiful jewel of an area before as it is truly one of the most beautiful places we have been and would recommend for both recreational or for business as the Lodge does offer all the facilities needed to house a first class event or confer-
ence and the Island residences and businesses are extremely friendly and willing to working with you to create a vacation or conference experience that will soon not be forgotten and you and your guests wanting to get back to this amazing place again. We hope that you enjoy all of our amazing feature and articles, as you start to think of those summer plans.
