Our People | New Brunswick / Nouveau Brunswick Canada - Maritime Magnifique!

Storyteller/Museum-Store Owner

Bernie Colepaugh is considered a bit of a historian and a visit to the one-room schoolhouse on the Miramichi River Route is sure to confirm that fact. You’ll be intrigued for hours as you browse the many antiques and items of days past, as well as relive the stories of this region’s history recounted by Bernie himself.  So do drop by and listen to Bernie “have his say”. 

Miramichi Country Music Opry Founder

Along the shores of the mystical Miramichi sits the Miramichi Country Music Opry, where the crowd is family-friendly and the spirited music continues late into the night.

Canoe Poler/Fishing Guide

It’s somewhat of a dying art but this New Brunswicker has had a lifelong passion for it and now Kevin Silliker is a certified canoe poler… he even co-wrote the manual for Paddle Canada. Hear logging stories and more as you wind down the famous Miramichi River on your fishing expedition with this experienced pro poler.  Perhaps you’ll want to learn the technique yourself!

Model Shipbuilder and Woodcarver

Marvel at perfectly detailed, handcrafted model ships; find copies of 18th-century vessels where the love of the sea is expressed in the work of this former R.C.N. sailor.
