Popis:
Newfoundland became part of Canada on March 31, 1949, as the tenth province. It consists of two parts: the island of Newfoundland and a portion of mainland Canada bordering Quebec called “abrader. To the south-east of the island is a shallow area of the Atlantic Ocean known as the Grand Banks, one of the world’s richest fishing grounds. For this reason, Newfoundland has a long tradition in the fishing industry. In fact, Newfoundland joined Canada so late because the British were interested in keeping it as a fishing post. More recently fishing has been less important to the province’s economy as mineral mining has expanded. The capital city is St. John’s with a population of 99,182.
Newfoundland has many interesting historical sites. L´Anse-aux-Meadows is, the site of a Viking village from about AD 1000 and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978. There are more than 90 parks, recreation areas and campgrounds in the province, of which Gros Morne National Park is one of the most attractive.
A favourite tradition from the island of Newfoundland is the “Screech In” ceremony which includes a drink of the infamous Newfoundland.
Screech Rum and kissing a cod fish. The reward of this ritual is a certificate naming the holder as “an Honorary Newfoundlander”. Certificates such as these are proudly displayed on walls across the world! Bud where did this ritual originate?
