Resettlement

 

There are hundreds of ghost towns dotting the coast of Newfoundland. Back in the 1960’s many small isolated fishing villages were deemed a drain on the government, and so residents were forced to abandon the only communities they had ever known. In many cases, they brought their houses with them.

​Resettlement was supposed to be a new start, but this forced relocation left scars on the souls of the resettled. And many still yearn for the villages they can never return to.
