Bedeque, Prince Edward Island
A former settlement for a large number of United Empire Loyalists who
landed following the American Revolution, Bedeque was deemed "the place
that lies on the backward turn" by Native settlers.
One of the Island`s
most heavily farmed regions, the community is situated amongst endless
potato fields, calling to mind the vital role agriculture plays in the
well-being of so many Islanders.
The Bedeque Bay, into which the Dunk
River empties, teems with a variety of wildlife and is a popular
destination for many anglers.
