St John's, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada
St John's in Newfoundland & Labrador
St. John's, the capital of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, is the perfect combination of big-city luxury and small-town charm. As the oldest and most easterly city in North America, this is where heritage lives. Melded with culture, history, and personality, St. John's has survived two World Wars, five centuries, countless hardships and triumphs. It's become a rare, old city full of character, experience and charisma, with a contemporary, sophisticated edge.
Wander down the narrow, criss-crossing streets carved by horse and carriage over 100 years ago. Pass the colourful jellybean row houses wedged together in every space lining the sides of steep hills and hidden alleyways. Once you've meandered down to the working harbour of the waterfront, look towards the Narrows and imagine a time when the waters were brimming full with fishing schooners.
Visit Quidi Vidi, the charming village-within-a-city, which still embodies the spirit of an old fishing outport. Then, hike up nearby Signal Hill through the famous Battery, where tiny wooden homes still cling valiantly to cliffsides ravaged by ocean waves. The unmistakable, iconic Cabot Tower guards the top of Signal Hill, where military men guarded the shores throughout the 1700s and 1800s. Here, Marconi famously received his first transmission across the Atlantic in 1901. Look out over the cliffs and watch the city's harbour and captivating skyline spread out before you. Perched on the top of the horizon is The Rooms, home to the provincial museum, art gallery and archives, standing next to the striking twin clock towers of the Basilica of St. John the Baptist.
As you explore the history of this place, shop at the many fine boutiques, shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs, and art galleries lining the streets. In the evening, sit back, relax, and enjoy live music or local theatre where actors will whisk you away to another place and time.
For nightlife excitement, head to the famous George Street. Here, clubs, pubs, bars, and restaurants are stacked and crammed. Every evening, George Street blazes with energy, especially during the George Street Festival -- five days and nights of dynamic musical entertainment.
Here in St. John's, courteous and lively people will treat you as friends -- willing to send you in the right direction, help you on your way, or even take you there. Always happy to tell a tale, no matter how tall, just to make you smile. Certainly, this city is like no other.
Getting Here:
St. John's, the capital city of Newfoundland and Labrador, is the most easterly point in North America, located at the beginning of the Trans-Canada Highway Route 1, just 3 hours from Toronto, 4 from New York and 4.5 from London England.

TOP 8 WORST PLACES TO MOVE IN CANADA (2013)
immigroup.com
416-962-2623 / 1-866-760-2623
We’ve told you about some of the underrated immigration destinations in Canada, now check out our list of places prospective Canadians should avoid: the poor places, the racist places, the isolated places, the depressing places, the worst of the worst! Naturally, the tiny towns in the woods of Northern Ontario or the southern shore of Newfoundland would be the worst of the worst, but let’s be reasonable. Here are list of towns and cities with a substantial population (at least 5000 residents) that might seem like a decent idea to a prospective immigrant interested in a slower pace of living.

1. New Glasgow, Nova Scotia

High crime rate? Check.
High unemployment? Check.
High cost of living? Check.
Limited access to services? Check.
High property taxes? Check.
Bad weather? Check.
Despite being a small, quaint city just a few hours from Halifax, New Glasgow tops polls of the worst places to live in Canada. How could those 10,000 people stand it? They must have all been born there.
In 2009 New Glasgow ranked 36th out of 208 in StatsCan's crime severity index. The crime rate increased from 2011 to 2012, and was significantly higher than the provincial average.
In 2006, New Glasgow had an unemployment rate of 7.7%. It has decreased since then and, as of the 2011 census, it was 5.7%, or slightly lower than the provincial average.
The cost of living in New Glasgow was estimated by one website to be 4% higher than the cost of living in New York City, but only 30.3% of those reporting say their households earn more than $60,000 Canadian per year (after taxes).
Property tax in New Glasgow was higher than the average in Nova Scotia and significantly higher than Halifax up to and including 2013.
Climate
New Glasgow receives 1212 cm of precipitation per year (that's more than Vancouver).
2. Kitchener - Waterloo, Ontario

Congratulations, Kitchener / Waterloo, you are the hate crime capital of Canada! Despite hosting two universities and a massive tech company campus, the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge tri-city area experiences a high per capita rate of verbal and physical assaults on ethnic, religious and gay minorities. Despite its location in the highly diverse Southern Ontario region, Kitchener has inherited the mantle from the previous main offender, Calgary.
In 2011 Kitchener-Waterloo was surpassed by Peterborough, Hamilton and Ottawa in police-reported hate crimes, however the rate remained at nearly double the national average.
3. Thetford Mines, Quebec
The third of the three rogues’ gallery dwellers is poor Thetford Mines, the heart of Quebec’s asbestos mining region and the winner of the title Most Polluted City in Canada. Despite the overwhelming evidence of the dangerous health effects of asbestos, Canada still mines the dangerous mineral, and the biggest mine in a populated area is in Thetford Mines.
4. Bay Roberts, Newfoundland
Photos by Werner Koehler, via Wikimedia Commons
Many, many other rural communities on the east coast could make this list, but Bay Roberts appears because it has the highest unemployment rate in Canada, at 17%. Despite the oil, gas, mining and hydro-power booms in Newfoundland, Bay Roberts has somehow managed to avoid the job benefits. This wouldn’t seem so peculiar if Bay Roberts wasn’t just an hour’s drive from money-drunk St. John’s and other rapidly expanding bedroom communities like Conception Bay South.
The unemployment rate has improved as it was 20.7% in 2006
5. Sarnia, Ontario
Photo by P199, via Wikimedia
Sarnia itself may not be so bad, but its view of and proximity to American heavy industry helps to reinforce the fact that this border town is polluted. It also has an empty downtown and a shrinking population.
6. Saint John, New Brunswick

Long known as the unglamourous milltown cousin to its apostrophic neighbour to the east, St. John’s, Saint John is a dirty, stinky pulp and paper port on the Bay of Fundy. Despite the natural beauty nearby, the city has a declining population and few economic opportunities outside of the paper mills, nuclear power plant, and small university satellite campus. Don’t end up in Saint John when you want to live in St. John’s!

DOWNTOWN ST.JOHN'S - ROOMS - HARBOUR/ ATLANTIC OCEAN - AIDA VITA CRUISE SHIP (EP 192)
Downtown is my favorite place in St. John's where it's so Irish and colorful. The jellybean row houses are the best sight in the whole of Canada. The beautiful waters of the Atlantic ocean, the majestic ships, the confusing streets are all just a feast for the eyes. Here is a beautiful vlog for you people to see and enjoy the beauty of Newfoundland.

Visiting Gander Newfoundland
Learn more about visiting Gander Newfoundland and available hotels here:
The town of Gander is situated on the northeastern part of the island of Newfoundland in an area known as Central Newfoundland. It has a population of about 12,000 people, and a rich history involving aviation, as it is home to the Gander International Airport (YQX). The YQX airport is a common emergency landing location, once a common refuelling point for transatlantic flights due to its position along the great circle route between New York and London. It’s because of this the town’s slogan is “The Crossroads of the World.”
If you’re traveling to Newfoundland, you’ll most likely fly into St. John’s airport (YYT) on the Avalon Peninsula. Generally, residents making the 210km (130 miles) journey between these two municipalities do so either by motor vehicle (roughly 3.5 hours driving) or DRL bus. As a tourist, if you’re looking to see most of the island, you’ll likely be traveling by rental vehicle or on a tour bus, and you’re sure to see Gander along the way. In addition to Gander airport, farther west on the island is Deer Lake airport. Either of these could factor into your travel plans, you may drive east to west from St. John’s and then catch a flight back to YYT or off of the island, but the cost of flying from these two airports is likely to be higher.
There’s plenty to explore in Gander, Newfoundland. Passing through for a few hours will be enough time to take in most of what the town has to offer, or you could stay a little longer, spend the night, and perhaps take in some local cuisine at a fine Gander restaurant.
Gander is about 100 km (62 miles) south of Twillingate, 90 km (56 miles) east of Grand Falls-Windsor, 358km east of Corner Brook, and 335km east of Gros Morne National Park.
While visiting, you’ll want to check out the North Atlantic Aviation Museum. Some other points of interest in Gander are The Airport Nordic Ski Club, Newfoundland Trailway, Cobbs Pond Rotary Park, and Thomas Howe Demonstration Forest. You can take in a show at Beyond the Overpass or take in a game at the Gander Golf Club.

Newfoundland and Labrador Memorial Day Parade 2016
Scenes from the NL Memorial Day ceremonies, July 1, 2016, St. John's. The crowd at the war memorial was quite thick, so I apologize for not getting any footage of that event. The larger size of this year's ceremonies was due to it being the 100th anniversary of the destruction of the Newfoundland Regiment at Beaumont Hamel in France. The regiment's honorary colonel-in-chief, Princess Anne, was in the province to view the ceremonies.
Following the march past at the courthouse, another military ceremony was held at The Rooms to officially open the museum's new WWI exhibit.
