I just checked and found out that UNB's Harriet Irving Library (the main library on the Fredericton Campus) has all the 1:50 000 topographic maps of Canada (and many 1:25 000 also). They're on the 3rd floor Map Room.
They also have a massive map of the province breaking it down into grids & map numbers, so it's very easy to find the specific map that you want. Photocopying the maps shouldn't be a problem at all.
So, if you're planning a trip and would like to know what's comming up around the bend but don't feel like ordering and spending $20 + per map this is a great option.

Neat site, Ken! Is there a way to download those maps to a gps? There's also a good topomaps site for gps's here: http://www.ibycus.com/ibycustopo/
The only thing I don't like about it is that it's SOOOO thorough that it takes a looooooooong time to download.

Hey Stroover,
I don't know, I have a GPS but don't know much about using it. Hey, I started a new forum on GPS thingies, feel free to post your heart out there.
Ken
Oh yeah, welcome to the site. Good to have you here!

I've bought laminated Topo maps from this site in the past. The prices are decent;
http://www.maptown.com/index.html
At the site below you can download, for free, all the topo maps covering Canada.
You can then print them out if you wish;
ftp://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/canmatrix/
The maps are in .tif format and are great for checking out potential routes without buying a paper map.
Most of the NB maps are under "21"
