Understand

The Corner Brook area has a rich history dating back over a century and a half. It was officially surveyed by Captain Cook in 1767, before he went on to survey Australia and New Zealand. Corner Brook became a hub for pulp & paper, with one of the largest operations in the world. In 1956, the city of Corner Brook was established through the amalgamation of four communities. Each of these communities, including Humbermouth, Curling, Westside, and Townsite, still retains its unique character. Former Mayor Charles Pender perfectly encapsulated the city's vibe: "We have the small town atmosphere with a big city infrastructure, providing peace, security, and a great environment for raising a family."

Smoked salmon is a popular food item in Canada, particularly in British Columbia where the Pacific salmon is abundant.

The dish offers a mixture of savory and slightly smoky taste, making it a refreshing choice.

Butter tarts are a sweet and flaky dessert native to Canada, particularly popular in the prairie provinces.
