Atlantic Canada covers New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island and their surrounding waters. The rich coastal and offshore regions form an important part of life and work for Atlantic Canadians, and especially for Mi’kmaq, Wolastoqiyik, Innu and Inuit peoples, the area’s original inhabitants.
