Central Labrador

Churchill Falls, Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Mud Lake, Sheshatsheits and North West River are among the communities in Central Labrador.

In 1941, the military established an air base in Goose Bay, during World War II. This base is now a Canadian Forces Base. As the air base grew, people from all over the world settled in Goose Bay to work.

The scenic, white capped Mealy Mountains are located at the southern edge of Lake Melville, these mountains rise in height to 450 meters. This is a popular area for snowmobile rides.

Goose Bay is also known as the gathering place for The Labrador Winter Games held every 3 years. This event brings together athletes from all across Labrador to compete in our traditional games (i.e. Labrador biathlon, Northern Games, etc) as well as other winter sports.

North West River has an interpretation centre which portrays Labrador culture, history, and lifestyle through artifacts, pictures, and displays.
