Where Are We? Newfoundland and Labrador lies between the 46th and 61st parallels with the bulk of the island portion being below the 50th parallel. The island is located in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the larger Labrador portion is on the eastern part of the Canadian mainland.
How Big Are We: Newfoundland and Labrador has an area of 405,720 km². It is more than three times the total area of the Maritime Provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island) and would rank fourth in size behind Alaska, Texas and California if it were one of the United States.
Population: The population of Newfoundland and Labrador is 509,677.
People: A warm and welcoming people with a vibrant spirit and strong sense of self. Living remarkable lives in a remarkable place. Relying and thriving on our own ingenuity and on the kinship of each other. The way Newfoundlanders and Labradorians always have.
