Fine Art Newfoundland artist Gerald Squires and Resettlement.

Resettlement – See page 103

Between 1965 and 1975 some 148 communities were abandoned, involving the relocation of 20,000 people. Government wanted to ensure that all residents of the province had access to a reasonable level of government services, as well as to telephones and electricity. The provision of health care facilities, schools, roads, post offices and other services could be achieved more cheaply and efficiently if people moved from small, isolated settlements to larger centers.
