This is where the sun rises first in North America. As host of the annual Federal, Provincial and Territorial Ministers and Deputy Ministers of Agriculture, we encourage you to take time to explore this province and its capital, St. John‘s.
This province has a long rich history tied to the land and sea. Centuries ago, it was the fishery that brought the first European settlers followed by those that worked the land. The link to the land and sea is as strong today as it was all those years ago. Many fishing vessels still operate out of St. John’s alongside supply vessels for the offshore oil industry. Likewise, many farms remain in St. John’s and the surrounding areas producing a wide variety of high quality foods for a growing and diverse population.
Experience the sights, sounds and tastes that St. John’s has to offer.
