NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR, CANADA With affordable housing, a clean environment, world-class health care and educational facilities and one of the lowest crime rates in North America, Newfoundland and Labrador offers a rich quality of life.

Situated on the northeast corner of North America, on the Atlantic Ocean, the province is made up of two distinct parts: the island of Newfoundland and the mainland portion of Labrador. Modern amenities and technology exist alongside prehistoric land formations and historical sites. The spectacular landscape provides a beautiful backdrop for studying and endless potential for research and career opportunities.

Population 500,000 Capital City St. John’s Main Industries Oil and gas, fishery, ocean technology, iron ore and nickel, tourism Time zone Newfoundland Standard Time (UTC-3:30) Island Coastline 17,000 km (10,500 miles) Newfoundland has a temperate, maritime climate. The east coast, like England, is marked by mild temperatures and relatively high precipitation. It can be windy, rainy or foggy in St. John’s on any given day — but that can change quickly to blue skies and sunshine. St. John’s has what’s known as a temperate climate. During the summer months, the temperature can go from cool to hot, and even on the hottest day there’s always an ocean breeze to keep you comfortable. Winters are generally mild, with sometimes cool and brisk temperatures, but great for your favourite outdoor activities.

In North America, the sun rises first on St. John’s, the continent’s oldest city. The history and culture of the original Irish and British settlers can be found everywhere, creating a unique blend of old-world culture and modern city living. The downtown is world-renowned for its steep hills and colourful houses — and, when the sun sets, its entertainment and nightlife. There is plenty of natural beauty with hiking trails, parks and gardens and the ocean is never far away.

Nestled beside Blow-Me-Down Mountains in the beautiful Bay of Islands, Corner Brook is the centre of attraction for the people in western Newfoundland. More than 42,000 people live in the region and the neighbouring communities of the Humber Valley.

Just a stone’s throw away from the best skiing in Atlantic Canada — Marble Mountain Ski Resort — and a 1.5-hour drive to scenic Gros Morne National Park, Corner Brook is known for four-season outdoor adventure and inclusive cultural activities.

teaching and learning at memorial mun.ca/teachingandlearning With Memorial’s endorsement of the Teaching and Learning Framework in May 2011 the university has committed to developing and maintaining a Teaching and Learning Community that is engaging, supportive, committed to discovery, outcomes-oriented, inclusive and responsive. All educators and learners at Memorial are encouraged to focus their work through the Teaching and Learning Community lens which promotes these principles. Our student-centred programs are operated with students in mind, to ensure that they have the best possible experience while studying with the Memorial family.

First Year Success Program First Year Success (FYS) provides a supportive community for new students, particularly those who could benefit from help settling into university life.

Dedicated advice on academic and career planning is part of a program that brings academic goals within reach. If a student might be entering Memorial with an admission average under 75 per cent, why not investigate this experience? A starting place is our website mun.ca/success.
