WHY SAINT JOHN?
A History Steeped in Industry.
As the first incorporated city in Canada, Saint John began as an early point of trade and defence for Acadia. In the late 1800s, the city had become a global shipbuilding hub, famously building and launching the Marco Polo. The site of the first Canadian labour union and the invention of the automated steam foghorn were more of Saint John's early industrial achievements. All of these activities and more laid the groundwork for what would become an industrial centre of excellence! *photo credit: Wm. Notman & Son, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons
