Learning about our own part of the earth can help us get a better understanding of the world at large. Much of the information now available about our province is aimed at young readers and people with at least a high school education. The Hitch-Hiker is intended to provide information which beginning adult readers can read and understand. This work has a special feature we hope readers will appreciate and enjoy. Many of the places written about in this book are seen through the eyes of an adult learner and other fictional characters. These characters were created to help add a touch of reality to the printed page. We hope the characters and the things they learn and talk about also give the reader a better understanding of our province. Above all, we hope this book challenges your curiosity and encourages you to search for more information about our land.

(PL-557) for NPA 879 to Overlay NPA
Number: PL- 557 Date: 20 January 2021 From: Canadian Numbering Administrator (CNA) Subject: NPA 879 to Overlay NPA 709 (Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada) Related Previous Planning Letters: PL-503, PL-514, PL-521 _____________________________________________________________________ This Planning Letter supersedes all previous Planning Letters related to NPA Relief Planning for NPA 709 (Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada). In Telecom Decision CRTC 2021-13, dated 18 January 2021, Indefinite deferral of relief for area code 709 in Newfoundland and Labrador, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved an NPA 709 Relief Planning Committee’s report which recommended the indefinite deferral of implementation of overlay area code 879 to provide relief to area code 709 until it re-enters the relief planning window. Accordingly, the relief date of 20 May 2022, which was identified in Planning Letter 521, has been postponed indefinitely. The relief method (Distributed Overlay) and new area code 879 will be implemented when relief is required. Background Information: In Telecom Decision CRTC 2017-35, dated 2 February 2017, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) directed that relief for Newfoundland and Labrador area code 709 be provided through a Distributed Overlay using new area code 879. The new area code 879 has been assigned by the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) and will be implemented as a Distributed Overlay over the geographic area of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador currently served by the 709 area code. The area code 709 consists of 211 Exchange Areas serving the province of Newfoundland and Labrador which includes the major communities of Corner Brook, Gander, Grand Falls, Happy Valley – Goose Bay, Labrador City – Wabush, Marystown and St.

Regional Government Consultation Burin Peninsula Sept
Regional Government Consultation Burin Peninsula Sept. 24th, 2011 Marystown, 8:30- 12:00 P.M. The meeting started with Robert Keenan, Community Cooperation Officer (CCO) with MNL, addressing the municipal officials. Mr. Keenan opened with a presentation on Regional Government and regionalization. In the first part of the presentation, he addressed the reasons for why MNL is examining regional government, and why they are examining it now. It was pointed out that these consultations are a follow-up to the three regional government discussion papers released by MNL in 2010 -- Continuities and Discontinuities, Searching for a Purpose, and The Umbrella of Protection. The CCO officer advanced MNL’s position that the current municipal structure needed to be reformed. The purpose of this much-needed reform would be to increase the efficiency, feasibility, and sustainability of municipalities, while protecting municipal autonomy. The CCO officer emphasized the need for reform at this time because municipalities need: • to become better organized; • to find ways to maintain and improve aging infrastructure; • to address the demographic difficulties that exist for many small towns; and • to account for the reduced financial and technical support available to municipalities from the provincial government. Mr. Keenan pointed out that neither the Provincial nor Federal Government has a plan for local government in Newfoundland and Labrador. Such a plan, however, is warranted, and municipalities ought to take the lead in putting forward ideas and suggestions to make them (municipalities) better and more sustainable. Mr. Keenan noted that municipal leaders are local leaders dealing with local problems. Further, it is local leaders, not Provincial government officials, who are better positioned to address the problems with the Province’s local government system.

TUCK* Newfoundland is a large island of 42,734 square miles situated in the North Atlantic Ocean between 46 ø and 52 ø north latitude. The Avalon Peninsula, its most southeasterly portion, is in the same latitude as the Bay of Biscay, France. Newfoundlandis some1,650 miles from the coast of Ireland, the nearest land in Europe. It is 850 miles from Cape Farewell, the most southerly point in Greenland. The physiographyof Newfoundland is quite similar to that of the adjacent Maritime Provinces. The coast is indented with bays and inlets and the island itself is a plateau which, sloping in a north- westerly direction, reacheselevations up to 1,500 feet in the almost mountainoushighlands along the west coast. A large part of the island's terrain is bleak and the soil is relatively shallow. In general, commercial forests are confined to the river valleys. Becauseit is on the eastern side of the North American continent, Newfoundland is influenced by continental air massesand exper- iences a wide range of summer and winter temperatures. More- over, as the island is virtually encircledby the cold waters of the Labrador Current, the sea moderatessummer and winter tempera- tures. Sea-icefrom the arctic regionsreaches Newfoundland in January (Figure 1) and in a normal year may surround the entire island except the south coast.
