St Alban's Business Directory

Local context

The Town of St. Alban’s places the community in inland Bay d’Espoir and the Coast of Bays, reached from the Trans-Canada Highway through Routes 360 and 361. The community was formerly called Ship Cove and developed around trading and logging. Hydroelectric generation and aquaculture later became major activities for the town and surrounding area, supported by specialized facilities and services.

St. Alban’s also provides health, education, postal, government, business-development, and community services used across Bay d’Espoir. Within this directory, St. Alban’s belongs in Central rather than the Burin grouping because the town is not on the Burin Peninsula. The Central classification follows its principal road connection while preserving Coast of Bays and Bay d’Espoir in the public description. No business address changes are implied by the regional correction. The correction also prevents Coast of Bays services from appearing in peninsula-only regional searches and navigation for residents and local service providers.
