Our very own Director, Wanda Schuttenbeld, volunteered her time and showcased her incredible dairy farm to help young people understand where our food comes from.

Lastly, we’re excited to feature the newly completed shed we built for the Harvey Hornets Baseball team (Go Hornets!).

We’re also proud sponsors of Harvey Community Days.

Don’t take our word on Stanley, this is what our customers have to say...

“The adjuster and claims staff helped me right away very professionally. In less than 4 weeks I got the cheque for replacement. I'm glad my broker, Merle Wallace Ltd. recommended and insured me with Stanley Mutual when I needed residential insurance in 2014. I can recommend them both highly. ”                                                                                                                                                                                     - Brigitte Wunn, Howland Ridge, NB

Embracing Our Roots

New Brunswick Facts

The Bay of Fundy's name has mysterious origins tied to early exploration.

The Indigenous peoples called it Bakudabakek (Mi’kmaq) or Wekwabegituk (Wolastoq), meaning "open way" and "waves at the head of the bay," respectively. However, these aren't the origins of "Fundy."

Some suggest "Fundy" comes from "Fond de la Baie" (French for "head of the bay"), but historian William F. Ganong disagreed.

In 1604, French settlers led by Champlain named it "La Baie Françoise" after rejecting Champlain's choice of "Norumbega." The name "Fundy" might stem from an earlier Portuguese explorer, Fagundes, who labeled it "Gram Baya" or "Rio Fondo," later misinterpreted and evolved into "Fundy."

This mix-up wasn't uncommon. Verrazzano named the whole region "Arcadia," meaning "paradise" in Greek. Champlain later removed the "R," possibly by mistake, leading to the creation of the word "Acadia." Similarly, the evolution of "Rio Fondo" into "Fundy" followed a series of errors and reinterpretations.
