The People... |
| |
We are a friendly people with a unique heritage
and a rich culture. many families were resettled
here from other nearby communities in Placentia
bay in the 1960's bringing with them an abundance
of talents, skills, and ideas.

The Place... |
| |
Arnold's Cove is an active, prosperous, growing
community strategically located on the isthmus of
the Avalon Peninsula.
We have long been known as the Economic Hub of the
Isthmus, and service centre for the people
of the Avalon region. All traffic traveling the
Trans-Canada highway on and off the avalon peninsula
must pass by our doorstep and because of our proximity
to the highway we are virtually sitting on a direct
route to St. John's (the Provinces Capital) which
is only an hour and a half's drive away.
We are also home to several excellent natural treasures.
The Bordeaux Hiking trail, the whale watching area's,
our bird sanctuary, and the beautiful costal scenery
are all woven into the fabric of our town.

The Prosperity... |
| |
We are clearly the gateway to Placentia Bay in
terms of shipping and refining, the fishing industry,
boat charters or for just revisiting resettled communities.
The three ports near Arnold's Cove are among the
deepest natural ports in the world. The Bull Arm
Construction site, the North Atlantic Refining Ltd. oil refinery
and the Newfoundland Transshipment Terminal are
all within arms reach. We are situated only one
hour's drive from the Argentia Ferry to Nova Scotia.
Arnold's Cove's population, industry, and commerce
are in a state of steady growth making it truely
a community in bloom. |
