Newfoundland and Labrador

As Canada's easternmost province, Newfoundland and Labrador unites the island of Newfoundland with the continental region of Labrador to cover over 405,000 square kilometers and support a population of nearly 550,000. This unique jurisdiction, which joined Confederation in 1949 and officially adopted its current name in 2001, stands as the nation's most linguistically homogeneous region with English spoken by 97% of its residents.
