Default Canadian Maritime Airports: Request for Info

I'll be flying my Warrior II to the Maritimes from Ottawa this August on a
family trip. Since airnav.com does not cover Canadian airports, I was
hoping to get some information about fees, FBOs, etc. from the readers of
this group. Here are the Maritime airports I'm planning to visit:

* Fredericton NB (CYFC) *or* Moncton NB (CYQM)
* Port Hawkesbury NS (CYPD)
* Halifax NS (CYHZ)

(I'll also be stopping in Quebec (CYQB) overnight on the way home, but I've
been there before.)

Fredericton or Moncton will just be a fuel and lunch stop, and I'm wondering
where I'll get burned the least. From what I've found so far, Moncton has a
terminal/apron fee of about CAD 19.00 (not sure if it applies if I use an
FBO) and expensive fuel (CAD 1.47/litre!!!) in lieu of a landing fee.
Halifax has no landing fee in my airplane category because of a lump-sum
payment from a local COPA chapter. I have no information on Fredericton
yet. I'll be staying in Port Hawkesbury and Halifax for about three days each.

If I'm flying in IMC, I pretty-much have to refuel in Fredericton or
Moncton, but I'm willing to consider other nearby alternatives if I get VMC.
So please, if you have any information about airport fees, tie-down fees,
fuel prices, FBO's, etc. at any of these airports, post a follow-up to this
message. For example, should I consider a different airport for Halifax?


Thanks in advance for any help,


David
