The trauma caused by resettlement in Newfoundland and Labrador must be acknowledged

Retrieved on: 
Giovedì, Agosto 10, 2023

Today, there are only a handful of isolated communities in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Key Points: 
  • Today, there are only a handful of isolated communities in Newfoundland and Labrador.
  • The provincial government continues to provide relocation assistance if at least 75 per cent of residents vote to resettle elsewhere.
  • However, many also endured mental anguish and trauma from being thrust into new communities with little social or economic support.

The resettlement of Pushthrough

    • When our family resettled from Pushthrough, N.L.
    • Finances were only one source of stress for resettlement families.
    • Resettlement people were often victims and faced trauma and anxiety that were either dismissed or simply ignored.

Impacts of resettlement

    • In 2017, we wrote an article about the Newfoundland resettlement program.
    • As our article circulated, a large number of resettlement people reached out to us with their riveting, often heart-wrenching stories, recalling the trauma, hurt and anguish they experienced.
    • Many were children at the time, and they recounted stories of bullying, abuse and being othered in their new communities.
    • Others remember living in houses that were no better than shacks or living in partially finished homes because their parents had not received enough in resettlement funds to complete their homes.

Acknowledging consequences

    • There were improvements for many people who resettled, but also deep costs that the provincial and federal governments never considered.
    • The Newfoundland Resettlement Program had severe social consequences, and caused anguish that people are still dealing with to this day.
    • Newfoundland and Labrador’s current community relocation program is different from what it was in the 1960s and 1970s but the consequences for those citizens who were resettled should not be forgotten by governments as communities continue to contemplate resettlement.
