Something wonderful about New Glasgow

New Glasgow has a charming and historic downtown that is not to be missed. The downtown core is full of fun for the whole family, with everything from restaurants and pubs to boutique clothing shops, and gift stores. There is also a riverfront marina, performing arts centre, town hall, library, and many office buildings. Even better, there is a major revitalization plan in the works to make downtown New Glasgow even more enticing. Part of these plans involve improvements to the town hall, expanding the library, and building a pedestrian bridge that connects the marina with the Samson Trail (a popular walking trail that runs through downtown). So while downtown New Glasgow was previously an industrial area, it is slowly growing to become one of the nicest parts of the town.
