ABOUT MIRAMICHI:

The city of Miramichi lies on both shores of
the Miramichi River, long known for its
legendary salmon fishing and unspoiled
natural beauty. The famous river runs through
Northumberland County and empties into the
Gulf of St. Lawrence. Historically, the name
"Miramichi" referred to the entire river valley,
as well as all of its towns and seaports. It is
still used in this context today.

 WALK FOR FUN, FITNESS AND FRIENDSHIP!

If you have any 

questions, please contact Sandy Hickey at 902 - 466 - 3816.
