Gander: TCH - NL, CA

Gander has served as a transatlantic aviation hub in central Newfoundland since the late 1930s. Developed around Gander International Airport, the town became an important refuelling and staging point for aircraft crossing the North Atlantic, particularly during the Second World War. It lies near Gander Lake and the Gander River, within Newfoundland’s forested interior rather than on the island’s dramatic coast. In September 2001, Gander received 38 diverted flights, an episode that inspired the musical Come From Away.

Among Canada’s regions, Newfoundland and Labrador stands apart for its far-reaching North Atlantic coastline and the meeting of the island of Newfoundland with mainland Labrador. The province faces the Labrador Sea to the northeast and the Gulf of St. Lawrence along its western and southern reaches; its terrain ranges from exposed shores and barrens to forests, lakes and the Labrador Plateau. Gros Morne National Park, on Newfoundland’s west coast, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for geology that exposes deep sections of Earth’s crust. Inuit, Innu and Mi’kmaq communities are integral to the province’s living cultures, alongside outport traditions shaped by the cod fishery.

Canada has served as a frontier between French and British colonial powers since the 17th century. The world’s second-largest country extends from Atlantic shores to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, with the Canadian Shield, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River shaping its vast geography. First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life. French remains the official language of Quebec, adding a distinct dimension to the country’s public culture. See how Canada connects across North America by browsing webcams in neighbouring regions.
