Nigel is talking to "the beautiful nun"; she tells him that the town is "a few miles ahead". Since this episode is in Nova Scotia, Canada, where the metric system is used by everyone, she should have said "a few kilometers ahead".
The metric system is not "used by everyone" in Nova Scotia, or Canada, for that matter. Although speed limit, mileage signs and gas are typically in metric units, the average person uses the English system. The nun would most likely have given directions using miles, just as she did in the show.
