About Dorchester, NB

Dorchester's a small village on the Memramcook River, easy to reach off Route 106 from Sackville or Memramcook, or via the Trans-Canada Highway 2 out of Moncton, about 40 km away, or Amherst, NS, just across the border. Moncton's airport is roughly 39 km out, so it's the closest option if you're flying in. Top up your EV before leaving Moncton or Sackville, since charging in Dorchester itself is scarce. Worth knowing: the village is home to one of Canada's oldest working federal penitentiaries, built from local sandstone back in 1880.
