Regional Overview

Grand Falls-Windsor - Baie Verte - Harbour Breton Rural Secretariat region, known as Central West, includes the Baie Verte Peninsula, Green Bay, Exploits Valley and Coast of Bays. At 33180 square kilometers, it is the largest geographic Rural Secretariat region on the island portion of the province.

In 2006 the region’s population was approximately 48,600. The region, with 81 communities, has only one town, Grand Falls-Windsor, with a population over 5000. Whereas, there are 47 communities that have a population of less than 1000 people. Forty-one percent of the population lives in communities with less than 1000 people.

Following an open nomination process, a Regional Council was established with members having varying backgrounds and interest from larger and smaller communities. The Council meets at least four times a year and is supported by a Regional Partnership Planner, Linda Brett, whose regional office is located in Springdale.
