Wabush balances small-town ease with big-north adventure. Part of Labrador West and minutes from cross-town amenities in nearby Labrador City, it offers quick access to lakes, forest, and wide-open sky—perfect for snow season pursuits, summer paddles, and unforgettable aurora nights. Daily life feels convenient, too, with an airport in town for straightforward regional travel and a close-knit community that rallies around local recreation programs, hockey at the arena, and seasonal festivals.
Families appreciate strong education options serving the region, including Menihek High School and J.R. Smallwood Middle School, both known for academics, sports, and arts programming. Health needs are supported by the Labrador West Health Centre. After hours, residents head for nearby trails, Duley Lake’s beaches and campsites, and downhill runs at Smokey Mountain Ski Club. Golfers find long-evening tee times in summer, while anglers and snowmobilers enjoy extensive backcountry routes just beyond town.
Wabush’s story is also one of industry and ingenuity. The iron-ore legacy continues at Scully Mine, and regional projects keep skilled trades and professionals in demand. Weekend drives link you to the salmon-rich rivers and cultural events of Happy Valley-Goose Bay or the remarkable engineering of Churchill Falls, underscoring Wabush’s role as a practical base for work and play.
