    Covers of 4 of the 5 songbooks James “Bruce” Henderson 1950-2015 Bruce was a hiker, poet, traveler and a lifelong learner. Learning new things was Bruce’s great delight: singing with the Atlantic Voices, playing bridge, walking on his hands, cooking. He combined two great interests as Poet Laureate of the Rideau Trail. Bruce was well known for his unique sense of humour. The members of Atlantic Voices will miss his voice and his incredible outlook on life. Here is one of his poems, which helps lend insight into this amazing man. Nature is too Extravagant (November 2006) When it rains Noah’s predicament Comes as no surprise The leaves pile up in autumn Enough to bury civilization If the street cleaners and blowers Faded away And winter? No subtle veneer of snow and ice But blasting blizzards That pile it on so deep The ERs fill with the infarctions Of desperate shovellers A little entropy of weather Might be nice The smoothing down Of high pressure and low A universal calm When the weather channel chants ‘Om” Our Mascot SS Maritime Atlantiika RIP 2007-2015 Ode to Newfoundland When sun-rays crown thy pine-clad hills, And summer spreads her hand, When silvern voices tune thy rills, We love thee, smiling land. We love thee, we love thee, We love thee, smiling land. When spreads thy cloak of shimm'ring white, At Winter's stern command, Thro' shortened day and starlit night, We love thee, frozen land, We love thee, we love thee, We love thee, frozen land, When blinding storm gusts fret thy shore, And wild waves lash thy strand, Thro' sprindrift swirl and tempest roar, We love thee, wind-swept land, We love thee, we love thee, We love thee, wind-swept land.

Populated with 510,000 residents with just over one-third, or 181,000, living in and around the capital city of St. John's . Advocate of UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage; active provincial ICH office. UNESCO has identified just over 800 places in the world that are of outstanding natural and cultural significance. Three of those are in Newfoundland and Labrador: Gros Morne National Park, L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site and Red Bay. Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador: .

  • Sample Chapter
    6 courtesy Parks canada St. John’s Most people don’t come to Newfoundland for city life, but once in the province they invariably rave about St. John’s. The city is responsible for a good part of the province’s economic output, and is home to Memorial University. The 2006 census has the city population at a modest 100,000, but the metro area count is 180,000 and fast-growing. St. John’s is a region unto itself. It was the capital of the Dominion of Newfoundland and Labrador prior to Confederation with Canada in 1949. As such, it retains elements (and attitudes) of a national capital and is, of course, the provincial capital. St. John’s claim to be the oldest European- settled city in North America is contested, however, it is clear that it was an important fishing port in the early 1500s and received its first permanent settlers in the early 1600s. Moreover, there is no doubt that Water Street is the oldest commercial street in North America. Formerly known as the lower path, it was the route by which fishermen, servants, and traders (along with pirates and naval officers) moved from storehouse, to ware- house to alehouse. They did so in order to purchase or barter the supplies necessary to secure a successful voyage at the Newfoundland fishery. Centuries later, the decline of the fishery negatively affected St. John’s, but oil and gas discoveries, and a rising service sector, have boosted the city’s fortunes. For visitors, St. John’s memorably hilly streets, fascinating architecture, and spectacular harbour and cliffs make it the perfect place 7 to begin (or end) a trip to Newfoundland.

    Preserving the Best Newfoundland’s Cultural Movement, 1965-1983 by ©Mekaela Gulliver A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History Memorial University of Newfoundland September 2014 St. John’s Newfoundland ii Abstract This study analyzes the cultural movement in the visual arts, theatre and music that occurred in Newfoundland between 1965 and 1983. Artists from the various artistic genres were influenced by both internal and external factors, and reacted to rapid political changes occurring in Newfoundland and artistic, musical, and theatrical trends that were popular in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. Members of the cultural movement reacted against modernization, urbanization, and industrialization that occurred during the period that Joseph Smallwood was Premier. Artists thought several of the choices made by this government led to an erosion of Newfoundland culture, and thus felt they needed to help preserve traditional culture. Yet, while artists viewed themselves as anti-authoritarian, they were aided in their artistic endeavours by institutions such as Memorial University, in particular Extension Service, which encouraged the preservation of heritage and promoted cultural productions. Music was one of the genres that artists used to help preserve the culture they feared was disappearing, and to demonstrate that Newfoundland culture was just as good as that anywhere else. Theatre was also important in the movement, and helped artists bring attention to the political issues they viewed as important. This study examines how Newfoundland artists reacted to a perceived loss of culture and identity.

Introduction The years after the Smallwood era saw continued change 1970 as eight new premiers led Newfoundland and Labrador from the 1970s through the first decade of the 2000s. Some of the changes that have occurred over the last 40 years have their roots in the last 500 years of our history and continue to play out today. Other changes have occurred because of new developments, such as the discovery of oil off our coast. The following timelines reflect some of the cultural, social, political, and economic events that have occurred in the last 40 years. While not all-encompassing, they indicate some of the milestones that have shaped who we are today. As you review them, think about what other items you would add to the timeline to help tell the story of our province. The 1970s 6.105 House The beginning of the 1970s saw the fall of the Liberal of Hate by government led by J.R. Smallwood, which had held Percy Janes power since 1949.
