Michael's Harbour
Michael's Harbour is a small one-street drive through community located just outside Lewisporte in Newfoundland and Labrador. There are no stores or services and residents must commute to Lewisporte for essential services and Campbellton for education until the 9th grade. They commute to Lewisporte for high school. The community had a crisis in 2020 where a house burned down and it was determined that no fire department was obliged to provide services to the community.[2] In February of the same year, the issue was resolved where the Lewisporte Fire Department agreed to provide service in exchange for C$50 fee per homeowner.[1]
