NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR:
Atlantic Canada’s Untamed Treasure

Did You Know…

  • Newfoundland’s tourism season is mostly limited to just four months a year? Over 70% of visitors arrive between June and September, creating seasonal pressure on local infrastructure.
  • Some Newfoundland communities now offer winter tourism experiences like snowshoeing and stargazing? Places like Nain and Bonne Bay are promoting off-season adventures to attract year-round visitors.
  • That icebergs seen along Newfoundland’s coast can be over 10,000 years old? These ancient giants break off from Greenland glaciers and drift past the province each spring.
  • Some Indigenous-led tourism experiences are available year-round in Labrador? Miawpukek and Inuit communities are offering cultural immersion tours that reflect their seasonal traditions.
  • Becoming an honorary Newfoundlander involves kissing a cod during a Screech-In ceremony? It’s a fun local tradition where newcomers take a shot of Screech rum and embrace the island spirit.
