Newfoundland and Labrador
The most easterly point of North America, this is where the sun rises and the colours are more vibrant. With its dramatic natural beauty, serene seaside villages, miles of untouched coastline and giant icebergs that make an annual appearance, it won’t take long to see why Newfoundland and Labrador lures visitors time and time again.
There are three distinct Indigenous groups in Newfoundland and Labrador — the Inuit, Innu, and the Mi'Kmaq. From listening to stories that offer a glimpse into its history, to participating in traditional crafts workshops, to learning fishing techniques passed down through generations, there are no shortage of ways to connect with local cultures in Canada’s easternmost province.
