Mackenzie's Ambulance service requested the town's help in notifying all residents of the importance of knowing their street address and having it readily available to pass to the paramedics in case of an emergency. Many of the drivers are not familiar with the area and knowing the street address is essential in getting the paramedics to you home as soon as possible. If you are unsure of your street address please contact me at the town office and I can give it to you.

Visit Historic Isle aux Morts
Situated on the rugged shoreline of Newfoundland's South West Coast, Isle aux Morts is a perfect destination for visitors looking for breathtaking scenery. Hills carpeted in reds, greens and gold of Newfoundland's mossy terrain surround the "Island of the Dead", a fitting name considering the hundreds of ships and lives that have been lost off the Isle aux Morts coast.. [See Attractions]
In 1828, the Harvey family, with the aid of their Newfoundland dog, "Hairyman", rescued 163 people from the sinking brig "Despatch", shipwrecked on the rocks off Isle Aux Morts. They made another daring rescue in 1838, saving 25 crew members from the Glasgow ship, the "Rankin". The present day Coast Guard Ship "Ann Harvey", is named in memory of the daughter of George Harvey who, while she was only 17 years old, assisted in these heroic deeds. [Read more]
Visit The Walter's House museum - which was the first church and school in the Isle aux Morts community. Later, a small addition was built on to have a store attached to the house.

On occasion, you may witness homemade craft activities happening at The Walter's House - or even have the opportunity to sample Newfoundland cuisine. Admission is by donation.
The Hairyman's Safe Haven Cafe will be re-opening for another season on Tuesday, May 21. Please come out and enjoy some Homecooked Newfoundland Food! For more information or to make reservations please contact the Town Office at 698-3441. Gift Certificates are available!
