Maritimers
Nova Scotia residents
Maritimers are people from Canada's Maritime Provinces—Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island.
The term carries connotations of coastal culture, fishing communities, and distinctive regional identity: Maritimers have a reputation for friendliness.
Sometimes the term extends to include Newfoundlanders, though many prefer the broader label "Atlantic Canadians" for all four provinces.
