"Come-from-away" is a term used in Canada's Atlantic provinces for someone who has
moved to the area from somewhere else.
Presenter: Laura Isbister, SCWW Participant and Volunteer
Join me as I start my Maritimes tour in Halifax, Nova Scotia before visiting Peggy’s
Cove and Lunenburg, home port of the iconic Blue Nose. By ferry, I cross the Bay of
Fundy to see the Reversing Falls and enjoy a tour of St. John, New Brunswick. We
drive across Confederation Bridge to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island and also
visit the Anne of Green Gables house. After a drive along the Cabot Trail on Cape
Breton Island, the ferry takes us to Newfoundland. Visiting Cape Spear on the way to
St. John's, my tour concludes with the traditional “screech-in” ceremony. As we travel
through this picturesque part of Canada, you may want to contemplate a move to the
Maritimes or Newfoundland and become a “come-from-away.”

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
LAURA ISBISTER
Laura has been involved with Senior Centre Without
Walls since March 2019 in a variety of travelogue
presentations which included: "Antarctica - The
White Continent,” "Amazon Adventure,” “New
Zealand" and "Jewels of Poland.” Her travels have
taken her around the globe to some 86 countries
and across all 7 continents. This fall Laura will
continue to share her travels from her trip to "Come-
from-Away: The Maritimes and Newfoundland.”
“Thank you for letting me share some of my travel stories. SCWW has given me an
opportunity to revisit some amazing places and also to laugh with you at some of
my misadventures along the way. I enjoy preparing these travelogues and meeting
lots of new people via the telephone. It has been a privilege to promote and
participate in the SCWW program this past year and I look forward to continuing my
participation during 2020.”
