A new website launched last week is aiming to boost immigration to Newfoundland and Labrador.
CometoNL.com‘s goal is to inspire people, both newcomers and ex-pats, to come to this province.
Creator of the website, Mark Royle says there isn’t one clear solution to the growing population problem, but he wants to help where he can.
He says the focus of the website is informing people to come to Newfoundland and Labrador – whether that be new Canadians immigrating to the country, people who moved away and looking to come back or Canadians from any other province who may have never thought of calling Newfoundland and Labrador home.
Speaking about the new website, MUN professor Dr. Tony Fang says urgency is needed in addressing Newfoundland’s declining population issue.
He notes the new site is an important vehicle in addressing the issue, and that continued collaboration with other parties is needed.
