Similar to the video they used to play inside the tower for visitors. It’s a nice little video, but could be quite a bit longer and in depth. I believe the Martello Tower is the only site in Saint John directly administered by Parks Canada… but hopefully that changes by Saint John getting NB’s first National Urban Park.
Consolidating a raft of scenic locations around Saint John like Partridge Island, Fort Dufferin, Carleton Martello Tower, Seaside Park, Rockwood Park, Tin Can Beach, “The Reservoir” trails, Reversing Falls, Courtenay Bay Breakwater, etc, etc, into a single Urban National Park, would be one of the single greatest tourist boons for SJ in its modern history.
I hope our MP’s, MLA’s, municipal leaders, and other local leaders are reminding the PM of his ambitious campaign promise to create 15 new, National Urban Parks across Canada, and I hope they pushing for Saint John to be chosen as the location for NB’s first National Urban Park.
Saint John is not only the oldest city, with the most diverse built environment in the province, it’s also the city/CMA with most unique natural environment. Saint John is the logical choice for NB’s first National Urban Park.
