Miramichi River

The Miramichi River /ˌmɪrəmɪˈʃ/ is a river located in the east-central part of New Brunswick, Canada.[1][2] The river drains into Miramichi Bay in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The name may have been derived from the Montagnais words "Maissimeu Assi" (meaning Mi'kmaq Land), and it is today the namesake of the Miramichi Herald at the Canadian Heraldic Authority.
