Corner Brook

Second-largest city in western Newfoundland, Canada; population (2006) 20,000. It is located at the head of the Humber River estuary, near the Bay of Islands, in a lumbering region close to the Long Range Mountains. The city includes large newsprint plants and also has cement, gypsum, iron, furniture, and plasterboard industries. Huge pulp and paper mills have been operating here since the 1920s, and commercial fishing is also important to the local economy. Corner Brook is a service centre for the western region of Newfoundland. A plant at Deer Lake, to the northeast, supplies hydroelectric power. Sir Wilfred Grenfell College (1975), a branch of Memorial University, is in the city.
