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.
The 'average' person in Canada does not use the Imperial system, only the older generations do that, except for shorter distances like inches or feet. However, when talking about travel distances, many Canadians describe it by the amount of time it should take to get there; ie. the town would be around five minutes up the road. When the nun was saying how much further she still had to run, though, yes, she should have used kilometres.
