Mainland, Newfoundland and Labrador

Mainland (known in French as La Grand'Terre) is a community in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, located on the western shore of the Port au Port Peninsula near Cape St. George.

Mainland has the status of designated place in Canadian census data. In the Canada 2006 Census, the community had a population of 311.[1]

The community is historically notable as one of the island's centres of Franco-Newfoundlander settlement and culture.[2] In 2009, CJRM-FM, a francophone community radio station from Labrador City, applied to add a rebroadcaster in the community.[3]
