A) Newfoundland and Labrador is a province in the East of Canada. It includes the island of Newfoundland and a region on the mainland of North America called Labrador. St. John’s, the capital of this Canadian province, is located on Newfoundland island. Both Labrador and Newfoundland are washed by the Atlantic Ocean and have mountains. B) The first Europeans to visit Labrador were the Vikings. Then, in 1497 the Italian explorer John Cabot landed somewhere in Newfoundland and Labrador and described the place as the “new found land”. England, France and Portugal fought for this land, but by the 1700s Newfoundland belonged to England. In 1949 it became the tenth Canadian province. C) When John Cabot landed on Newfoundland’s coast, he was surprised to see that the waters around the island were full of fish.

Fishcakes, salted cod and Fish ‘n Brewis are just some of the fish dishes that local people have been eating for centuries.

Before airplanes were invented, Newfoundland was a communications centre. Most ships travelling across the Atlantic to Canada from Europe arrived there first. It is also the shortest flight across the Atlantic. The first transatlantic flight was made from St. John’s to Ireland.
