New Denmark, N.B.

As the oldest Danish community in Canada, New Denmark was once home to thriving potato farms, schools and even a renowned ski hill. But the aggregation of farming resulted in a population drop, cultural intermingling, and a loss of Danish traditions and businesses. But despite it all, New Denmark has made it to its 145th year. The locals are proud and passionate about their history and are doing what they can to keep their Danish traditions alive.
