On April 29, @FIN_GovNL Minister Pardy will release Budget 2026. A budget that focuses on improving life for the residents of Newfoundland and Labrador and identifying opportunities for the province’s future - for all of us. #NLBudget26

National Tourism Week is a time to celebrate the people, places, and stories that make Newfoundland and Labrador unlike anywhere else. From our rugged coastlines to our welcoming communities, tourism is part of who we are. It brings our culture to life, connects us to the world, and creates opportunities in every corner of our province. Our government is focused on growing this sector and making Newfoundland and Labrador the tourism capital of Canada. With $1.4 billion in annual visitor spending and more than 20,000 jobs supported across the province, tourism is a powerful driver of economic growth, strong communities, and shared pride in all we have to offer.

#GovNL is proud to support First Light’s Urban Indigenous Health Clinic, which will provide culturally safe, Indigenous-led health care and improve access to primary care for the urban Indigenous population. Read more: gov.nl.ca/releases/2026/…

This National Volunteer Week, we honour the people who give their time, energy, and heart to make a difference in communities across Newfoundland and Labrador. Your dedication strengthens our province and brings people together in meaningful ways. Thank you!

With all five water bombers now back in service, more wildland firefighters being hired and trained, enhanced support for volunteer fire departments, and community wildfire resilience planning underway, we are taking action to keep people safe this fire season. Thank you to everyone working on the front lines and behind the scenes to protect our province. Together, we are building safer communities for all of us.

@FrankReardon1 @singapore Amazing photos.

I just uploaded some of my photos from my past trip to @Singapore in February 2026. Enjoy! Amazing how much changed since the first time I was there in 2000 and photographing on Film. And how much has not changed 🇸🇬 frankreardonphotos.com/travel-portfol…

Kudos to Minister Andrea Barbour for standing up for Newfoundland and Labrador and setting the record straight. A recent headline by @people missed the bigger picture. When travellers were stranded, Newfoundlanders and Labradorians stepped up with warmth, care, and professionalism. That spirit is not new. It reflects a long tradition of hospitality that the world has seen before. That is who we are. And it is what visitors can expect every time they come here. Come visit us, you will not be disappointed.
