Memorial University President Vianne Timmons says a move to change the university's name to 'Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador' is long overdue. (Sherry Vivian/CBC)Adding 'and Labrador' to the name of Newfoundland and Labrador's university means a lot more to Memorial University President Vianne Timmons than just changing an acronym. The school formerly known as Memorial University of Newfoundland will now be called Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador. "We're gonna say we're Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador from now on," she said. "I think it's a really significant time for Labrador … and Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador."
