The history of the dyke lands of the Maritime Provinces of Canada is as rich and deep as the fertile red soil that sustains them. First came tremendous tides, surging up the Bay of Fundy, spreading layer upon layer of silt over the shores of its sprawling estuaries and along the riverbanks. Over thousands of years, the tides built sediment to depths of more than 40 meters. Learning from the Acadians the marsh owners in the Canard, Nova Scotia area, reclaimed this farmland in one piece completing it in 1825.
