The Petitcodiac Boys & Girls Club is situated 43K west of The City of Moncton and 43K east of the Town of Sussex in New Brunswick. The Village of Petitcodiac is nestled in a rural area, surrounded by trees, rolling hills and brooks. The word Petitcodiac is of Indian decent meaning "bend in the river". Petitcodiac is where the Petitcodiac river begins. The river is famous for its Tital Bore, and can be seen in the Moncton area. The Petitcodiac river flows into the Bay of Fundy, and when the high tides come up the fundy coast line, they gush into the mouth of the river, thus - the Tidal Bore.
