Trepassey
Few places in Newfoundland and Labrador have a history as closely tied to the North Atlantic cod fishery as Trepassey. Set on Trepassey Bay at the southern end of the Avalon Peninsula, the community developed around a sheltered harbour serving fishing crews and vessels. Its coastal setting lies within a sparsely settled part of the peninsula, where low barrens, ponds and conifer cover meet the road network. Route 10 is the principal road through the area, linking Trepassey with other communities along the peninsula. The town remains connected to the fishing culture that shaped many Newfoundland outports, while the surrounding coast retains an open, working-rural character.

Tucked along Trepassey Bay on Newfoundland’s southern Avalon Peninsula, Trepassey is a place whose character is shaped by its sheltered harbour and exposure to the North Atlantic. The community sits on a coast of headlands, coves and changing weather, where the sea has long directed travel, work and settlement. Fishing remains central to local identity, while the peninsula continues toward Cape Race, a prominent Atlantic headland. Trepassey also has a place in aviation history: in 1928, the Fokker Friendship departed its harbour on the flight that made Amelia Earhart the first woman to cross the Atlantic by air.

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.
