Newfoundland and Labrador's Vital Signs provides a comprehensive, reader-friendly look at how our province's communities are faring in key quality-of-life areas. This year’s report focuses on the differences between rural and urban areas of the province and looks at how they compare on issues like economy, housing, wellness, and sense of belonging.
