Mayor’s Message

Welcome to the Town of New-Wes-Valley, located 90 kms from the Gambo overpass on the TransCanada Highway. Route 320, the ‘Road to the Shore’, will direct you to our beautiful town.

New-Wes-Valley was incorporated in 1992 when the communities of Valleyfield, Badger’s Quay, Pool’s Island, Brookfield, Wesleyville, Pound Cove, Templeman, & Newtown amalgamated. Our current population stands at approximately 2500.

Our main industry is derived from the fishery, with Beothic Fish Processors Ltd. providing employment for approximately 40% of the towns residents. Make an appointment and take a tour of one of the most modern production facilities in Atlantic Canada.

While visiting our town, enjoy our scenic beauty, rugged coast lines, ice bergs, whales, berry picking grounds, walking trails, and much, much more.

We invite you to visit the renown Barbour Living Heritage Village with Dinner Theatre, the Bonavista North Regional Museum, the old style churches, fishing stages, and many other sites the town has to offer.
