The Petitcodiac River has been a defining feature of Moncton for over 2,000 years, with a history more intriguing than most visitors anticipate. This walking tour traces the river’s journey from Indigenous portage paths and Acadian uprisings to bustling shipbuilding towns and a causeway that almost destroyed the river. Beginning at Bore Park, participants will discover how the Bay of Fundy propels 100 billion tons of water into the Petitcodiac twice daily, creating a visible wave that travels upstream at 13 kilometers per hour. The tour continues along riverbanks where Acadian rebels once ambushed British troops, reveals how Mi’kmaq navigators rode the tidal bore in birch bark canoes, and introduces Molly Kool, North America’s first licensed female sea captain, who occasionally wielded a lumber log to combat prejudice. The tour concludes at Bore Park, where the poignant final chapter of the Acadian rebel leader Beausoleil’s story unfolds.
