  • (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.

    2013: Coastal and Ocean Engineering ENGI.8751 Undergraduate Student Forum Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, Memorial University, St. john’s, NL, Canada MONTH, YEAR Paper Code. (PT-13 - Evans) Repairs to Timber Cribway and Construction of Armour Stone Breakwater and Wharf in Belleoram, Newfoundland Brett Evans Memorial University of Newfoundland St. John’s, NL, Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT The town of Belleoram, NL is comprised of approximately 450 residents located on the Connaigre Peninsula within Fortune Bay. Being a fishing town, the harbour has always been a typically sheltered area, protected from the wind and the waves that are known to the southern coast of the island. Throughout recent years, with the impact of hurricanes and tropical storms being felt on the province as a whole, the town has experienced higher waves than usual that have been providing quite a problem to certain parts of the town. One of which being an area of timber spillway that is located on the Northeast side of the town. This spillway has served as adequate protection to the finger of beach comprised of wharves and slipways used to safely house the fishing boats within the town until recent storms. With these higher waves becoming more common in the area, flooding of the area has been happening more often due to the spillway not being capable of handling such weather. Roadways on the beach have been washed away and debris such as large rocks and stones have been deposited on the wharves causing numerous problems and damages for the fishermen of the town.
