New Resident Guide aims to support newcomer settlement

Saint John is the oldest incorporated city in Canada. Located on the Atlantic Coast and nestled on the Bay of Fundy along the St. John River, Saint John is an oasis of lakes, rivers, ocean beaches, forests, trails, heritage buildings, and modern conveniences. We are a city of industry, arts and cultures, diversity, safe neighbourhoods, and new businesses. 

Saint John is a port of call to ships from across the world, a traditional immigration point, and a growing city. We also have the highest tides in the world! We are excited that you have chosen to live here, and we look forward to making your new life all it can be!

The New Resident Guide will help as you settle in Saint John. It lists the vital information you need including services, organizations, and contact information to help you and your family on your new resident journey. From
housing and transportation, language services, education, employment, and even the weather and special events, we hope this guide will help you find all you need to live, work, and play in your new home.

The guide can be downloaded directly to your computer or smartphone and is available in both official languages. Guides are also available in-person at Saint John Hall located at 15 Market Square.
