About the St. Anthony area
The area
Our St. Anthony area is Statistics Canada's Division No. 9 of Newfoundland: the Great Northern Peninsula from Bonne Bay north to the Strait of Belle Isle, about 13,200 km² with about 14,700 people in 2021, down from 15,600 in 2016. St. Anthony (about 2,200) is the largest town; Rocky Harbour, Roddickton-Bide Arm and Port au Choix each have under 1,000. Six unincorporated subdivisions, about 3,300 people, cover nearly all the land. Gros Morne National Park (1,805 km²) takes up much of the south, where the Long Range Mountains rise to a plateau above 800 m; eight towns, Rocky Harbour and Norris Point among them, sit in enclaves around it.
History
Port au Choix has a Maritime Archaic burial ground about 4,000 years old, and Norse sailors built timber-and-sod halls at L'Anse aux Meadows about 1,000 years ago, now a World Heritage Site. Qalipu and Miawpukek First Nations, both Mi'kmaq, have ties to the Gros Morne area. Under the French Shore treaties, French crews dried fish around St. Anthony and British settlement came only after 1815. Wilfred Grenfell's medical mission made St. Anthony its northern base from the 1890s, and a US radar station operated there from 1953 to 1968.
Services and access
Charles S. Curtis Memorial Hospital in St. Anthony has a 24-hour emergency department, surgery and dialysis; Bonne Bay Health Centre in Norris Point also has 24-hour emergency care. Route 430 from Deer Lake on the Trans-Canada is the only road onto the peninsula, and a ferry from St. Barbe crosses the Strait of Belle Isle to Blanc-Sablon, Quebec, next to the Labrador border. St. Anthony Airport, owned by Transport Canada and about 50 km from the town, is served by PAL Airlines. St. Anthony's plan names the fishery (shrimp and crab since the 1990s cod collapse), regional retail and public services as the economic base, with tourism growing.
Land and climate
Around Gros Morne, balsam fir forest covers slopes and valleys, with wetlands, barrens and an arctic-alpine plateau above. St. Anthony has no plans to extend year-round town water beyond its present reach, so rural lots around it use private wells and septic systems.
Before you buy
Each town issues development permits under its own municipal plan; St. Anthony's planning area reaches beyond the town and includes protected water supply areas. On a lot without town services, the well and septic system need approval from a Government Service Centre, with plans drawn by a provincially approved designer. Route 430 is a protected road; building within its control lines, on private or Crown land, needs a provincial permit from a Government Service Centre. St. Anthony's plan treats land below the 2 m contour as highly vulnerable to coastal flooding and recommends setting buildings at least 30 m back from eroding cliff tops.
