JOHN’S May 16, 2015 Destination St. John’s is thrilled to invite you to host the 2015 Atlantic Cup Challenge in Conception Bay South, Newfoundland and Labrador. St. John’s and our entire region has become one of the most desirable destinations in Canada to host meetings, conferences and sport events. It is interesting to note that delegates of conferences held in St. John’s tend to travel with more people and stay longer than when they travel to other destinations. Almost 50% of delegates surveyed extended their stay in our province. Air accessibility has grown exponentially and today we are serviced daily by Air Canada, United, Westjet, and Porter Airlines and even boast direct flights to several cities in Canada (as far west as Calgary), the United States, England and Ireland. Also noteworthy, by the end of 2015, a new CAT-3 landing system will be completed at our International Airport allowing 99% landing accessibility in the case of inclement weather. This new technology places St. John’s amongst the Top 8 airports in Canada. St. John’s promises you a sophisticated city experience full of small town warmth and the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. Having successfully hosted numerous national and international sport events over the years we are confident that we can deliver the kind of experience that will truly WOW your athletes during your championship in Conception Bay South. Sincerely, Jeannette Yetman Manager, Event Tourism Destination St. John’s 211B LeMarchant Road St. John’s, NL A1C 2H5 T: 709-739-8924 F: 709-739-8897 2015 Atlantic Cup Atlantic 2015 E: [email protected] 7 WELCOME TO ST. TO JOHN’S WELCOME Welcome to St. John’s Rich with history, rife with culture, and sprawling with natural beauty, St. John’s is a City of exaggerated proportions. All these wonders have been here for thousands of years, embraced by those who happened upon them. And while finding the true spirit of this land, you’ll stumble upon everything from wildlife, to people, to amazing vistas, to an abundance of culture. In fact, being the most easterly point in North America merits our very own time zone, half-an-hour off-kilter with the rest of the world. Around every corner, around every bend, you will find a little piece of heaven, an unexpected delight, a playful breeze that will help your journey. With a population of over 200,000, the metropolitan St. John’s area is the economic and cultural centre for the province and offers a natural environment, clean air, safe streets and all the amenities of a larger city with a European flavour. Our rich history and culture and “small town” quality of life make St. John’s a pleasure to visit. Urban revitalization, including a concerted effort at heritage conservation, has preserved some of the most remarkable streetscapes in North America. Water Street, the oldest street among North America’s European colonies, combines modern enterprise with Old-World charm. The revitalized downtown core, adjacent to the waterfront, features a variety of shops and boutiques, museums, galleries, historic sites, theatres, artisan centres and craft stores - all within easy walking distance of major hotels, and convention facilities and our state of the art arena. Restored heritage homes provide first-class bed and breakfast facilities in and around the downtown core. For over 500 years St. John’s has been visited by explorers and adventurers. We now invite the 2015 Atlantic Cup Challenge to experience this colourful history and enticing combination of old world charm, unique architecture, historic and natural attractions. 2015 Atlantic Cup Atlantic2015 8 WHAT SOUNDS BETTER: I’VE BEEN TO DISNEYLAND OR VISIT TO REASONS I’VE BEEN TO THE EDGE OF THE EARTH? Why would anybody want to come to a place that some call the Edge of the Earth? There are hundreds of reasons, but if we could boil it down to just one, it might be this: you might never find another place that makes you feel at the same time... lost and found. It’s the place where things just happen. It’s a place where the unexpected is the norm and is just slightly off-kilter with the rest of the world. Where the people and the beauty of this land stay with you long after you’re gone! COASTLINE There’s enough coastline wrapped around this place to stretch its way back and forth across North America four times over (29,000 kilometres to be exact). Sprinkled with guts, inlets, coves, and bays with historic towns and fishing villages, complete with spectacular views. WILDLIFE AND NATURE Ten thousand humpbacks pass by our shores every year, chasing ten thousand year old icebergs.

We started the trip with 19 rigs but unfortunately lost one in Monc- ton, New Brunswick ,due to an accident. No one was seriously injured, but we had to continue on with only 18 rigs. Some of the highlights of this trip included the Bay of Fundy with 25-foot tides, the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, rides on the Bluenose II and Amoeba sailing vessels, whale watching tours, and some of the most beautiful and breathtaking scenery in the world. Some of our group even took a day trip to Labrador, while others sailed out of St. Anthony, Newfoundland, to view icebergs and whales. We enjoyed many caravan-sponsored dinners with lots of lobster and other seafood. This was an amazing trip which was made even more enjoyable by the outstanding people who traveled with us. Many thanks to all who contributed time and effort to make this a truly memorable trip.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

  • The Best of Newfoundland & Labrador
    1 The Best of Newfoundland & Labrador You’ve done the Florida sun, the European tour, the Caribbean cruise, and the all-inclusive resort, but what you really want is something different. You want to experience something natural and untamed, to relax and rejuvenate without resorting to laziness. You want to create your own vacation memories, not reenact someone else’s itinerary. You yearn for a place unlike any other, somewhere that hasn’t been sanitized and packaged for official tourist consumption. Well, now you’ve found it: Newfoundland & Labrador, the Far East of the Western world. Here, in Canada’s youngest and most easterly province, untold adventure awaits your discovery. What’s around the next bend in the highway? Could it be a double rainbow? A breaching humpback? A glistening iceberg? A beaming lighthouse? There’s no script or schedule here, so you never know what you’ll find when you start to explore. The key word here is “explore”—some of your most treasured memories will be found on the roads less traveled. The rustic majesty that is Newfoundland & Labrador can be summed up in two words: “people” and “place.” Both are unforgettable. The inhabitants of this isolated locale are as real as it gets. They are unpretentious, thoughtful, and witty. They’ll charm you with their accents and their generous spirit. Though their lifestyle is neither opulent nor lavish, they will never hesitate to help a per- son in need. It comes from living in a harsh environment where a helping hand can make the difference between survival and some other, ugly, alternative.
