Communities in Labrador face a number of significant constraints in terms of municipal public service delivery, including scarce and scattered population distributions that preclude economies of scale; great distances that make it hard for both service users and service providers to receive and offer services; a limited range and depth of services; a challenge to provide services for diverse populations such as the elderly and the youth; and extreme weather conditions. As the report notes, these conditions may contribute to and aggravate the high levels of net out-migration from many Labrador regions, which in turn adversely affects the funds available to meet community needs. This report reviews current municipal service provision issues, specifically those relating to water services, waste collection and disposal, fire and emergency services, road maintenance and snow clearing, and recreation, and offers policy recommendations that could benefit Labrador communities.
