Seasonal provincial Visitor Information Centres located at Argentia, Clarenville, Deer Lake Highway, Notre Dame Junction, Port aux Basques and Whitbourne, will officially open for Stay Home Year 2020 tomorrow (Saturday, June 27). Provincial Visitor Information Centres located in Deer Lake Airport and St. John’s International Airport are currently closed due to Covid-19 travel restrictions. A re-opening notice will be provided to the public once non-essential travel restrictions are eased.

Deer Lake Highway, Port aux Basques and Whitbourne Visitor Information Centres will be open daily, 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.; and Visitor Information Centres located at Argentia, Clarenville and Notre Dame will open from Wednesday to Sunday also from 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, washrooms at each location will remain closed.

Using new and innovative methods, knowledgeable and friendly staff at Provincial Visitor Information Centres are eager to guide visitors to off the beaten path locations, so travellers can fully enjoy what the province has to offer during Stay Home Year 2020. Travel Counsellors with Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism are nationally certified by the Tourism Human Resources Canada emerit program.
