province and capital city of Fredericton, New Brunswick on November 7-9, 2025. This trip is an exciting opportunity for UMaine students to travel to a foreign country and experience Canadian culture first-hand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will be staying downtown in the Crowne Plaza Fredericton-Lord Beaverbrook near the banks of the mighty St. John River. Students will also have down time to explore the cosmopolitan yet highly accessible city of Fredericton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A trip planned with affordability in mind, the Canadian-American Center will subsidize transportation, accommodations, and entry fees to sites. The cost to students for the trip is still TBD, but will be kept as low as possible. Please note that all costs associated with meals are the responsibility of individual students, as well as any additional fees for activities and transportation that are not included in the prepared itinerary. We will be traveling in two university vans, so there is a cap of 16 students (first come, first served) who may attend the trip.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id11988_20fe9f-4d > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id11988_20fe9f-4d > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id11988_20fe9f-4d > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:1268px;padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, calc(60% - ((var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem) * 1 )\/2)))minmax(0, calc(40% - ((var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem) * 1 )\/2)));}.kb-row-layout-id11988_20fe9f-4d > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id11988_20fe9f-4d > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 2fr) minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id11988_20fe9f-4d > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id11988_20fe9f-4d alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-left-golden kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column11988_85c331-c5 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column11988_85c331-c5 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column11988_85c331-c5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column11988_85c331-c5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column11988_85c331-c5 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column11988_85c331-c5 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column11988_85c331-c5{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column11988_85c331-c5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column11988_85c331-c5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column11988_85c331-c5\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Preparing for Travel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before you leave:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make sure you have a valid passport or passport card.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you need to apply for a passport or passport card, consult the <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/passports\/en\/passports.html\">Dept. of State website<\/a>&nbsp;for more information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are not a US citizen\/permanent resident, please ensure you have proper documentation to cross into Canada and return the US. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/immigration-refugees-citizenship\/services\/visit-canada\/about-visitor-visa.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here for information about Canadian visitor&#8217;s visas.<\/a> Contact the <a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/international\/\">Office of International Programs<\/a> if you need assistance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A record of certain civil or criminal offenses may prevent you from crossing the border.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>The University of Maine bears no responsibility for refunding trip costs to participants who are refused entry to Canada for any reason.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>To register, please contact Dr. Mark McLaughlin, organizer of the field trip and professor of the connected CAN 101: Introduction to Canadian Studies course: mark.j.mclaughlin@maine.edu.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Estimate your expenses and exchange enough money into Canadian dollars before leaving.
