Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) is located on the northeast corner of North America. The province is made up of the island of Newfoundland, with Labrador on the mainland, and over 7,000 tiny islands.

Newfoundland and Labrador has 29,000 km of coastline dotted with inlets, coves, and bays that are home to historic towns and fishing villages. While small, they are bold communities with colourful buildings, spectacular views, and friendly people.

Newfoundland was the tenth province to enter Canadian Confederation in 1949, with change of the province’s official name to Newfoundland and Labrador in 2001.

Newfoundland and Labrador is known for its rugged coastline and distinct maritime culture. With a rich history influenced by early Irish, French, and English settlers, the province has a strong sense of community. Its economy is primarily driven by natural resources such as oil, gas, and mining, but it also has growing sectors in tourism and technology.
