David Reid: 2021 -

Welcome to the web page for the Town of Reidville. Even though we are only a small town with a population of a little more than 500 people we have lots to offer. Our location on the scenic Humber River and immediately at the beginning of the Viking Trail puts us at a position where all regional amenities are at our fingertips. On entering our town you will find The Newfoundland Insectarium, the only one of its kind in Atlantic Canada. While visiting us you can enjoy some horseback riding at the Cache Rapid Stables or enjoy some great fishing which Mother Nature provides along the Humber River; a pastime that many locals are quite passionate about. Our town turns into a winter wonderland when mother nature covers us with a blanket of snow. The sound of snowmobiles and the anticipation of a great snow fall creates quite an excitement around town. The Gorge at the Gros Morne National Park makes for a great day trip on snowmobile.

A short distance along the Trans Canada Highway (TCH) you will find many conveniences; the Deer Lake Airport (10 minutes away), Corner Brook (30 minutes away), Gros Morne National Park (30 minutes away) and the Port Aux Basque ferry (two and half hours away), just to name a few.

The Town’s recreation facility community center is always available for parties, weddings and other events and is used extensively. The Town has a very active volunteer Fire Department with such events as community breakfast, Fireman’s Ball and helping with the annual Christmas Tree Lighting and of course the Santa Claus parade. We are a small town with a big heart which is greatly needed for sustainability and growth. A town of the people where everyone is welcome. The town of Reidville has a very active volunteer base that is second to none. This was displayed during our come home year celebrations in 2009. We are a very proud town and have a lot of small town spirit which is greatly needed for sustainability - a town is it’s people.

On behalf our councilors, I hope you enjoy your visit to our website and at this time I would like to welcome you to visit our town. The residents of Reidville are very friendly and our town is always open for business.
