Living and Working in our Capital City

The oldest and most easterly port city in North America, St. John’s is a city rich in arts and entertainment, bustling with creative business initiatives and thriving with new developments in offshore oil and gas and telecommunications.

Even though we are a small city, we maintain a cosmopolitan feel. St. John’s offers an exciting nightlife, award-winning restaurants and distinct shopping opportunities.

For young families, we pride ourselves as being one of the safest cities in Canada. St. John’s, Mount Pearl and surrounding communities, all within a 20-minute drive of the core of the city, offer affordable residential opportunities and nationally comparable educational facilities.

An Outdoor Paradise...

For anyone interested in a stroll through the great outdoors, the city offers beautiful walking trails along the Grand Concourse, a 100km walkway that links the cities of St. John’s, Mt. Pearl, and the town of Paradise. For those who prefer a challenge, try the East Coast Trail and hike along the province’s rugged coastline.

There are many more outdoor activities including sea kayaking, whale and bird watching boat tours, rock climbing and swimming. And with 60% of the best salmon rivers in North America right here in Newfoundland, it is the perfect place for anyone who likes to fish.

On the west coast of the province, enjoy the best skiing east of the Rockies at Marble Mountain and miles of exhilarating snowmobiling. At Gros Morne, a UNESCO world heritage site, take advantage of the exceptional beauty and unique geographical landscape. Anywhere you go you are sure to find adventure.
