L'Anse au Loup
L’Anse au Loup has served as a fishing settlement on Labrador’s Strait of Belle Isle coast since the 19th century. The community stands on the mainland shore opposite Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula, where the strait separates the island from Labrador. Today it is one of the small settlements along the Trans-Labrador Highway, with Route 510 providing a road link between southern Labrador’s coast and the interior. Low, rocky ground, spruce woodland and ponds surround the built-up area, while the nearby sea remains central to local life. L’Anse au Loup is a useful stopping point for travellers following the Labrador Coastal Drive and exploring the communities around the Strait of Belle Isle.

Tucked along Labrador’s southern coast on the Strait of Belle Isle, L’Anse au Loup is a place whose character is shaped by cold Atlantic waters, sea ice, and an exposed coastal setting. The community sits on Route 510, part of the Labrador Coastal Drive, a road that links settlements scattered along this thinly populated shore. Its French name recalls the linguistic layers of a coast frequented for centuries by European fishing crews. East of the community, Red Bay National Historic Site preserves the remains of a 16th-century Basque whaling station and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

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.
