Labrador City
Newfoundland and Labrador
Labrador City is a vibrant community tucked away in the western part of Labrador, just steps from the Quebec border. With 7,400 residents as of this year's census count, it stands proudly behind Happy Valley-Goose Bay as one of two major cities in Labrador - an impressive feat for a quiet town.
Unlike a lot of other cities in Canada, Labrador City was not founded until the 1960s. It was settled to provide miners to work at the Iron Ore Company of Canada. In those early years, iron was the core of the economy. Today, there are more than 250 businesses in the region. The industries important to the area now include mining supply and service companies, secondary processing, manufacturing, retail, transportation, and tourism.
The cost of living tends to be low in Labrador when compared with other parts of Canada, while the standard of living is still high. The fact that housing is affordable helps to make it even more popular with people looking to move.
