About Happy Valley-Goose Bay
Happy Valley-Goose Bay is Labrador's largest and most dynamic community, situated on the western shore of Lake Melville where the Churchill River meets the lake. With a population of approximately 8,000 residents, it blends urban amenities with a Northern wilderness lifestyle.
The region's economy is driven by diverse sectors — 5 Wing Goose Bay is one of the area's major employers, alongside federal, provincial, and Indigenous governments, the mining sector (including the Voisey's Bay nickel operations), healthcare, and a growing tourism industry. The result is a stable, resilient community with excellent employment opportunities and a welcoming environment for families, professionals, and entrepreneurs.
