Newfoundland has a long and incredibly interesting history. In 1949 it became Canada's 10th province, but it can be surprising how little Canadians know about the province on the far east coast of Atlantic Canada.

Some of the points in the video address simple topics, like Newfoundland Standard Time, what the official name of the province is and how to actually pronounce it, what people from this province prefer to be called, whether or not we are part of the maritimes alongside Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and PEI, and when we finally joined Canada.

I promised that I would leave a great resource down here that details one other topic covered in the video. It is about the Newfoundland Regiment during World War 1, specifically the events of July 1st, 1916 at Beaumont Hamel, during the Battle of the Somme.
