Eastern Canada

Quebec and beyond

Eastern Canada refers to the provinces and territories in the eastern portion of Canada, typically including Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador).

The term's boundaries are loose—sometimes it includes only the Atlantic region, sometimes everything east of Manitoba.
