What a launch. 🚀

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for the official launch of Ready at the Edge and helped make the event such a success.

A special thank you to AnnMarie Boudreau, Honourable Seamus O'Regan, and Lloyd Parrott, Minister, Energy and Mines, Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, for helping advance the conversation around Newfoundland and Labrador's role in Canada's defence future.

Yesterday marked the beginning of a collaborative effort to showcase the province's strengths, capabilities and opportunities within Canada's evolving defence ecosystem. As the conversation continues at this week, we're excited to keep building momentum.

Advantage St. John’s is attending , July 13–16.

Hosted by ACADA - Atlantic Canada Aerospace & Defence Association, the conference brings together industry, government, military, and northern leaders focused on maritime and Arctic security.

In Newfoundland and Labrador, these aren’t distant challenges. The work happens here — shaped by environment, infrastructure, and the need to operate in real conditions.

We’ll be there to connect with partners and stay aligned with where the sector is heading.

If you’re there, we’d be glad to meet.

🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day from Advantage St. John’s! 🇨🇦

Canada Day always feels like a good time to pause and appreciate where we are — not just as a country, but right here at home. In Newfoundland and Labrador, there is a lot to be proud of. The creativity. The grit. The way people show up for their communities and keep finding new ways to build, grow, and make things happen.

That is a big part of what we get to champion at Advantage St. John’s. We spend a lot of time talking about the St. John’s Capital Region because there is so much happening here that deserves to be seen — from ocean innovation and technology to energy, tourism, arts and culture, and the entrepreneurs pushing new ideas forward.

So today, we are celebrating the people, businesses, and communities helping move Newfoundland and Labrador forward. Across St. John’s, Paradise, and Conception Bay South, this is a region with real momentum — and a pretty great place to live, work, invest, and build what comes next. 🍁

We love nothing more than welcoming visitors to the Capital Region. It was a pleasure to host Gareth Bevan and Steve Jeffries from Trident Engineering for a closer look at some of the strengths our region has to offer.

After spending some time at our office, Advantage St. John’s CEO Michelle Simms, joined them for a visit to Newdock - St. John's Dockyard Ltd., just one example of the infrastructure, capabilities, and industry assets that continue to draw interest to the region. We always value the chance to show visitors what’s happening on the ground and why more companies are exploring what’s possible here on .
