Politicians address challenge of making N.L. feel like home for newcomers
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — The need to make aging, cash-strapped Newfoundland and Labrador into an appealing place for young people has been a recurring theme among politicians campaigning for the May 16 provincial election.
The topic has been raised in debates and talking points by all four party leaders, and Premier Dwight Ball made the message clear in his remarks when the writ was dropped last month.
“It’s important to me that our young people feel confident that they can pursue their goals in the province that we all love,” he said at the Confederation Building April 17.
