SYNOPSIS
St. Andrews is rich with fascinating people, architecture and history. From First Nations residents, French explorers and English loyalists, to today’s multicultural mix, St. Andrews is a town like no other. Early shipping, colonial wars, railway tycoons, the rich and famous, tourism, pioneering marine science and with a constantly evolving arts and culture scene, St. Andrews punches well above its weight for its size. The Algonquin Hotel was Canada’s first seaside resort, the town’s “Maxwell Houses” are Canada’s largest collection of heritage homes designed by Edward and William Maxwell, the waterfront is designated a National Historic District and Water Street has been named one of the “Great Streets” in the country. Canadian marine science got its start here and research continues at both the federal St. Andrews Biological Station and The Huntsman Marine Science Centre. Today, our tiny town with a year round population of around 2,000 attracts visitors, new residents, scientists, visual and performing artists, and entrepreneurs from around the world. This Huntsman Marine Experience TM will open your eyes to this one of a kind community.
