Welcome to Goose Bay!

The 2011 Labrador Networks Project continues the social network research begun in Nain in 2010, expanding on the same questions about people's networks and connections to include the larger community of Goose Bay, located in southern Labrador. Goose Bay is a community of about 8,000 people and the self-proclaimed hub of Labrador. It is also the home to an Canadian Forces Base, formerly a refueling site for fighter planes on their way to Europe during World War II and currently privately owned and operated. Monday, February 14 was our first full day of interviews, and Tuesday promises to be just as full! Check back for updates on our travels around the area to Sheshatshiu and North West River.
