Situated 100km inland from the Bay of Fundy on the banks of the Saint John River, FREDERICTON , the capital of New Brunswick, has a well-padded air, the streets of its tiny centre graced by well-established elms and genteel villas. There's scarcely any industry here and the population of 46,000 mostly work for the government or the university, at least partly fulfilling the aims of one of the town's aristocratic sponsors, who announced in 1784: "it shall be the most gentlemanlike place on earth". Fredericton has few specific sights, but what there is is good, principally the Beaverbrook Art Gallery , the gift of that crusty old reactionary Lord Beaverbrook, and the occasional building left from the Military Compound that once housed the garrison.
