Burin Peninsula - First Road Trip in Newfoundland


In mid-October I began a research project in collaboration with the communities of the Burin Peninsula in Newfoundland to explore opportunities for working together regionally. Over the past weeks I have been exploring the region through reports and conference calls. Last week I had the opportunity to travel to the Burin Peninsula to meet with community leaders, business, and government representatives. After reading giant piles of academic literature and government reports for the past two months the opportunity to travel to the region was a welcomed change of environment.

The Burin Peninsula is located 4 hours way from St. John's by car. The region is home to approximately 10,000 people living in mostly coastal communities. Here are a few photographs from the region.
