Welcome to the Kittiwake Region, located on the northeast coast of Newfoundland and
Labrador, Canada's most easterly province, on the lap of the North Atlantic.
Welcome to the region as rich in natural resources as it is in culture and beauty.
It is a place that fills you with wonder, and a place with boundless opportunity
for adventure, industry and investment.
the regional economic development process works under a simple philosophy:
sustainable, effective economic development demands involvement. Public consultation
and participation remain an essential part of our mandate.
The KEDC sets its direction under an 18-member volunteer board of directors drawn
from a variety of sectors and areas in the zone. The KEDC staff operates under the
auspices of the board, and provides project leadership, guidance, facilitation and
sector development. TheFive Core Functions of a REDB are
- Develop and coordinate the implementation of strategic economic plans (SEPs) in each zone supported by an integrated business plan
- Develop strong partnerships with municipalities in each zone that incorporates the strategies and priorities of municipalities in the economic planning process
- Undertake capacity building and provide support to stakeholders to strengthen the economic environment of the zone
- Develop partnerships in planning and implementation with Chambers of Commerce, Industry Associations, post secondary institutions, CBDCs, and other zones that advance and support the economic and entrepreneurial environment of the zone.
- Coordinate and facilitate linkages with federal/provincial/municipal government departments and agencies in support of economic development.

Zone 14, located on the northeast coast of central Newfoundland spans from the
community of Terra Nova west to Lewsiporte and north to Fogo Island. The Region's
largest community, Gander, is home to an international airport, and busy deepwater
ports in Carmanville and Lewisporte tie into major shipping lanes.
