Labrador West looks to open its border with a Fermont double bubble


The neighbouring communities on either side of the Labrador West-Quebec border want to loosen up travel restrictions, and are asking the Newfoundland and Labrador government to allow non-essential interprovincial movement between Labrador City, Wabush and Fermont. For a double bubble to span the border, Brown said, a number of measures would need to be put in place. Fermont residents could visit the two communities in Labrador, and Labrador residents Fermont, but no travel beyond that would be allowed. While Fermont has some services, many residents often shop across the border in Labrador West. Ball and Brown both said there are similar talks happening between the provincial government and border communities in the Labrador Straits area.
