Newfoundland and labrador
Newfoundland and Labrador are is situated at the most eastern side of Canada in the Atlantic region. This part of the country has enough shoreline to reach across Canada four times. So whether you go for a walk along old trails, pack a picnic and keep an eye out for whales, or head out to sea in search of icebergs, you’ll find that everything comes with a fantastic ocean view. Mining, manufacturing, fishing, pulp and paper, and hydroelectricity are the most important industries today. Iron ore from Labrador and the potential of significant offshore oil and natural gas deposits are two other natural resources essential to the local economy.
