Saint John 225: The original city

Saint John was declared a cultural capital by the Canadian Government for 2010.  This coincides with the 225th anniversary of the city’s incorporation. 

A website for the planned events has been launched at http://www.saintjohn225.com/.

Here’s a quote from the city:

We are proud of our cultural, architectural and artistic heritage. Saint John 225 will showcase the talents of Saint John area artists and performers in all genres including music, dance, theatre, visual arts, film and writing.
