Tourism ad, “Mahone Bay” (1967)

Mahone Bay is for seafarers, landlubbers and treasure-hunters – just a short excursion from Centennial celebrations in the Atlantic Provinces.

Canada’s Atlantic Provinces are all things to all vacationers. If you love the sea, the sea is all around you. If you don’t know a spinnaker from a jib, and are perfectly happy that way… you can still find a lot to love about New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. Charming little fishing villages. Miles of sandy, sun-warmed beaches. Great shore dinners. Even a treasure island. (There’s debate as to whether it’s Captain Kidd’s treasure. or Sir Henry Morgan’s.) And, in case you hadn’t heard, there’s quite a clambake going on this summer… a nation-wide birthday party to celebrate Canada’s Centennial. Welcome aboard!
