Corner brook is the second largest city of Newfoundland, having a population of 21,000 people. Surrounded by the Long Range Mountains, an extension of the Appalachians, the city offers scenic fjords, a rugged coastline, and thousands of acres of black spruce forests. And because of these forests, a pulp and paper mill was founded here in the 1920's. Along with the successful fishing industry, the mill provided jobs for most everyone. The mill is still in operation today, although many locals left for St. Johns with the discovery of oil in the last decade.
