About the Marystown area
The area
This page covers Statistics Canada's census division No. 2, the Burin Peninsula on Newfoundland's south coast, between Placentia Bay and Fortune Bay. It spans about 5,900 km² and had about 19,400 people in 2021. Marystown, with about 5,200, is the largest place, followed by Burin (about 2,200), Grand Bank (about 2,150), Fortune (about 1,300) and St. Lawrence (about 1,100). Twenty smaller towns and ten unincorporated subdivisions make up the rest.
History
French fishers were at Grand Bank by the late 1600s, and after the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht English settlers came over from St. Pierre. From the 1880s schooners out of Grand Bank fished the offshore banks, and the town led the Newfoundland bank fishery for about fifty years. In November 1929 a tsunami from an earthquake on the southern edge of the Grand Banks drowned 27 people on the peninsula, Canada's largest documented loss of life from an earthquake. Fluorspar mining at St. Lawrence began in 1933, and many miners later fell ill from silica dust and radon. A shipyard and fish plant opened at Marystown in 1967.
Services and access
The Burin Peninsula Health Care Centre in Burin has a 24-hour emergency department, surgery and cancer care. Route 210, the Burin Peninsula Highway, leaves the Trans-Canada at Goobies and runs to Grand Bank by way of Marystown, which is about 143 km, or an hour and a half, from the junction. The nearest scheduled flights leave St. John's, about 305 km (three and a half hours) by road. SPM Ferries carries passengers and vehicles from Fortune to Saint-Pierre and Miquelon.
Land and climate
The southern tip of the peninsula belongs to the Eastern Hyper-oceanic Barrens ecoregion: nearly treeless heath and blanket bog with stunted balsam fir. It has more fog than anywhere else on the island, cool summers and mild winters, with January daytime highs often above freezing. On land granted from the Crown, the province keeps a 15 m public strip above the high-water mark of any water body.
Before you buy
Towns with a registered municipal plan, such as Marystown, issue development permits within their planning areas. Along Route 210 a building control line applies, and land inside it needs a permit from the provincial Department of Government Services. Government Services also approves septic systems, wells and land development through its Government Service Centre in Marystown. Crown land is granted, leased or licensed by the Department of Forestry, Agriculture and Lands, and a Crown title carries surface rights only. The province's Mining and Mineral Development Branch recommends building at least 30 m back from coastal cliffs or the high-tide line and above the 4 m contour, since lower ground is exposed to storm surge.
