https://youtu.be/sH_Xu5ng3v4Newfoundland and Labrador is the easternmost province of Canada, consisting of the island of Newfoundland and the mainland region of Labrador. It borders Quebec to the west and has a rugged Atlantic coastline.

The capital and largest city is St. John’s, one of the oldest cities in North America, located on the eastern tip of Newfoundland. It’s famous for its colourful row housing, Cabot Tower on Signal Hill, and as a historic fishing port.

The territory has a population of over 500,000, with strong Irish, English, and Indigenous influences. Known for its unique culture, natural attractions include Gros Morne National Park, Terra Nova National Park, and the coastal cliffs of Cape Spear which is the easternmost point in North America.

The flag, adopted in 1980 was designed by artist Christopher Pratt. It features blue, white and red triangular sections with a gold arrow representing a bright future. Resembling the Union Jack, the design’s abstract style is unique among Canadian provincial flags.
