A community’s identity is deeply rooted in its history, culture, and artistic expression. The Heritage & Arts stream is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the unique traditions and stories that define Newfoundland and Labrador’s towns.
The way a town is designed and built has a profound impact on the health and well-being of its residents. The Healthy Built Environment stream promotes community planning and infrastructure development that prioritizes accessibility, active living, and social connectivity.
Access to safe, nutritious, and locally sourced food is a fundamental pillar of a thriving community. The Food Security stream supports municipalities in building resilient food systems that reduce reliance on imported goods and promote sustainable agricultural practices.
Newfoundland and Labrador’s natural landscapes—its rugged coastlines, vast forests, and freshwater ecosystems—are among its most valuable assets. The Environmental Stewardship stream focuses on the responsible management and protection of these natural resources to ensure they remain healthy and accessible for generations to come.
The impact of climate change is becoming increasingly evident in Newfoundland and Labrador, with rising sea levels, coastal erosion, and more frequent extreme weather events threatening communities. The Climate Action stream equips municipalities with the knowledge and tools needed to mitigate these risks and adapt to a changing environment.
Tomorrow’s Towns is a program available to any member of Municipalities Newfoundland and Labrador in good standing.

Nestled in the heart of Bonavista Bay, Centreville-Wareham-Trinity is a tri-community that thrives on unity, tradition, and the enduring beauty of Newfoundland’s central coast. What began as three distinct outports has evolved into a single, close-knit town where neighbors are like family and community pride runs deep.
Historically, these communities grew around the rhythm of the sea and the forest. Fishing, logging, and sawmilling once drove the local economy, and the echoes of those industries still shape the land and culture today. The town is surrounded by rich woodland, scenic rivers, and quiet inlets that offer both natural beauty and a strong connection to the land.
Today, Centreville-Wareham-Trinity is a place of growth and resilience. It has embraced its amalgamated identity while preserving the unique character of each original community. Churches, schools, and community halls remain focal points for gatherings, celebrations, and the kind of everyday connections that define rural life.
With easy access to trails, waterways, and wildlife, the town is a destination for those who cherish the outdoors. Hunting, berry picking, and snowmobiling are part of the seasonal rhythm, while new developments in infrastructure and recreation show the promise of a future built on collaboration.
What sets Centreville-Wareham-Trinity apart is its spirit of togetherness. It’s a town built on shared history, sustained by mutual respect, and strengthened by a belief in the value of small-town life. Here, past and present blend seamlessly into a community that welcomes you not as a visitor, but as one of its own.
