Churchill Falls
| Waterfalls on the Churchill River, the longest river in Labrador, eastern Canada, situated about 400 km/249 mi from the mouth of the river. They fall 75 m/245 ft. A power plant at the falls supplies hydroelectric power, much of which is transmitted from the province to other parts of Canada and the USA. |
| Known as Grand Falls until 1965, the waterfalls were renamed after Winston Churchill who died that year. |
