Corner Brook
Located at the mouth of the Humber River in the beautiful fjord-like Bay of Islands, the
city of Corner Brook is the third largest city on the island of Newfoundland. Its location
makes it the hub of distribution, service, retail, and medical activity for the west coast of
the province.
The city was built on the pulp and paper industry, which continues to be a major
employer. Corner Brook is also emerging as a centre of environmental excellence,
building on its proximity to university and research institutes with a pristine natural
environment.
There are many things to see and do in Corner Brook: take a stroll on the Corner Brook
Stream walking trail; view the City from Captain Cook’s Monument; do some shopping
in the historic downtown business district; visit the Corner Brook Museum and Archives;
or simply relax at Margaret Bowater Park. |
