(Bay of Islands Volunteer Search and Rescue)Garry MacKenzie headed to Lark Harbour as soon as he heard the news. Cellular service became available in the western Newfoundland and Labrador towns of Lark Harbour and York Harbour on Dec. 22, 2020. "Cell service is spotty in some areas, and you might have to hike 100 metres in one direction or the other to find service," he said. Bay of Islands Volunteer Search and Rescue says cellular service means command centres to co-ordinate searches in the Lark Harbour area will be established faster. The local fisher added that cell service will benefit his industry, providing a direct connection to dockside monitors.
