The geographic location of Labrador and its proximity to the Arctic has provided Newfoundland and Labrador with the opportunity to engage in areas of economic and social development in the Arctic and Canada’s North.

Labrador Affairs leads Arctic and Northern policy initiatives for the Province. This falls within the mandate of the department to advance the social and economic development of Labrador while providing advice on government policies, planning and programs that impact Labrador.
