St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. John's Harbour, Newfoundland

St. John's is the capital of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is also the largest city in the province, with 108,860 people living there and 205,955 people in the St. John's Metropolitan Area.[1]

Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) has two campuses in St. John's and College of the North Atlantic (CNA) also has two (and a third in Seal Cove, within the St. John's Metropolitan Area). MUN and CNA are the only two public higher education institutions in Newfoundland. Given this, there are many students living in St. John's to pursue studies.

Close to St. John's is Cape Spear, the easternmost point in North America.

St. John's is home to the Newfoundland Growlers who play in the ECHL.
