Provincial Visitor Information Centres (VICs) located at Argentia, Clarenville, Deer Lake Highway, Notre Dame Junction and Whitbourne, will officially open for in-province travelers on Friday, May 21. The Provincial Visitor Information Centres located in Deer Lake Airport and St. John’s International Airport are currently open.

At this time, in alignment with current public health guidelines in the Southwest region of the province, the Port aux Basques Visitor Centre remains closed in Level 4. An update will be provided as more information becomes available.

Provincial Visitor Information Centres provide information and advice to travellers on attractions and experiences, while directing them to the nearest hidden gems throughout the province. All travel counsellors with Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism are nationally certified by the Tourism Human Resources Canada Emerit Program.

The hours of operation at the VICs vary, but generally operate from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the beginning of the season and will extend as the season becomes busier. You can find more information here.

Public health guidelines for safety practices due to the COVID-19 pandemic will be followed at all VICs. All visitors and staff are reminded to adhere to any public health orders issued.
