New Brunswick
Motto: Spem reduxit (Hope restored)
The official tartan of New Brunswick was commissioned by William Aitken, Lord Beaverbrook in 1959. Beaverbrook was born in Maple, Ontario in 1879 but the family moved to Newcastle, New Brunswick in 1880, and he regarded this as home. The tartan was designed by the Loomcrofters in Gagetown, New Brunswick. It was officially adopted as the provincial tartan by an Order in Council in the same year.
The ‘beaver brown’ colour was included to honour Beaverbrook, and the red honours the courage and loyalty of the New Brunswick Regiment and Loyalist settlers.
New Brunswick is one of Canada’s three Maritime provinces and is the only province in the Canadian federation that is constitutionally bilingual. It was created as a result of the partitioning of the British Colony of Nova Scotia in 1784; New Bruntswick, Cape Breton Island and the newly formed Nova Scotia.
