The Nova Scotia-New Brunswick border bisects the Tantramar Marshes and because there are really only a handful of roads that cross from one province to the other in the Chignecto Isthmus, tourism authorities have naturally focused their promotional efforts by creating “gateway” facilities at the frontier along the Trans-Canada Highway. Today Nova Scotia has a substantial welcome and interpretive centre for this purpose. As this photo reveals, such efforts are not new. Shown in the photo is a small roadside tourist bureau with a large relief map of Nova Scotia depicted on a gigantic sloping panel which visitors could view from the vantage point of their automobile.
