Terre-Neuve, province atlantique

&
1949 18 min
Leaving soon

Le 1er avril 1949, Terre-Neuve devenait la dixième province canadienne. Ses richesses sont nombreuses : la ville historique de Saint-Jean, le grand centre de l'industrie du papier Corner Brook, les gisements de fer de l'île Bell, les mines du Labrador, ses aérodromes... Et comme les valeurs humaines des habitants composent aussi la richesse d'un pays, nous faisons la connaissance du pêcheur terre-neuvien Fred Greely et de sa famille.
