From the rugged coastlines of Labrador to the quiet outports of Newfoundland, every corner of this province has a story worth preserving.
There is something special about Newfoundland and Labrador.
Perhaps it’s the sound of waves against a fishing stage, the warmth of a kitchen filled with laughter, or the way complete strangers become friends with nothing more than a smile and a story. It’s a place where history isn’t locked away in museums—it lives in our communities, our traditions, and in the memories passed from one generation to the next.
Every harbour, every trail, every lighthouse, and every small town has helped shape the province we know today. Some stories are famous, while others have never been written down at all. They survive through family photographs, well-worn journals, cherished recipes, and the voices of parents and grandparents who remember a different time.
As the years pass, many of those stories risk being lost.
That’s why ShareNL was created.
ShareNL is a place to celebrate everything that makes Newfoundland and Labrador unique. A place to discover remarkable history, explore hidden places, celebrate local heroes, uncover legends and folklore, and shine a light on the communities that continue to define who we are.
Along the way, we’ll travel from rugged coastlines to quiet inland towns, visit historic landmarks and forgotten settlements, meet extraordinary Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, and share the traditions that continue to bring people together. We’ll celebrate the places that make us proud to call this province home while carefully separating documented history from local legend whenever the two meet.
But ShareNL isn’t just about looking back.
It’s about celebrating the Newfoundland and Labrador of today and preserving its stories for tomorrow.
Whether you’ve lived here your entire life, recently arrived, or carry Newfoundland and Labrador in your heart from somewhere else in the world, this is a place to connect with the people, places, and traditions that make our province unlike anywhere else.
And we hope you’ll be part of it.
If you have old photographs tucked away in an album, family stories passed down through generations, favourite hidden places, or memories that deserve to be shared, we’d love to hear them. Together, we can help preserve the history, culture, and spirit of Newfoundland and Labrador for future generations.
