Newfoundland at a Glance
The province of Newfoundland and Labrador is located at the most eastern edge
of Canada and is one of
the country's best kept secrets. The island of Newfoundland boasts North America's
oldest city, St. John's, as one
of its main attractions. Stroll down the streets of this idyllic town and take
in the awesome view of the harbour from historic Signal
Hill, St. John's most recognizable attraction and a designated National
Historic Site. Newfoundland's craggy shoreline is the perfect place for picnicking,
exploring and birdwatching. Fishing, always the primary industry in the province,
has spawned a number of quaint traditional villages along the inlets and bays,
the streets of which are lined with colourful clapboard houses and exceptionally
friendly and gracious locals. Visit Gros
Morne National Park, designated a world-class heritage site because of its
unusual geography, by travelling to northern tip of the island. The untamed
wilderness of Labrador offers the perfect destination for outdoor adventurers.
