Badger
Among the places of Newfoundland and Labrador, Badger stands out for its position on the Exploits River amid Newfoundland’s interior forests. This small community lies beside the Trans-Canada Highway, on a long east–west route across the island that ties central settlements to the provincial road network. The nearby Badger River joins the Exploits, one of Newfoundland’s major rivers, giving the settlement its name and a setting shaped by water and woodland. Logging has long been central to the economy of the Exploits Valley; Badger developed as a railway and forestry community. Its low-density streets and surrounding boreal cover retain the practical character of an inland service stop rather than a coastal resort.

The landscape around Badger is a forested valley in central Newfoundland, which has shaped both the settlement’s linear form and its long connection to forestry. The town stands beside the Exploits River, Newfoundland’s longest river, within an interior that historically supplied timber to the island’s pulp-and-paper industry. Badger developed as a railway and logging community on the former Newfoundland Railway; its corridor is now part of the Newfoundland T’Railway Provincial Park, a cross-island multi-use trail. An ice jam on the Exploits caused severe flooding here in 2003, underscoring the river’s continuing presence in local life.

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.
