Newfoundland and Labrador has no provincial outdoor lighting or dark-sky law that we could find, and no municipal by-law turned up either. Its formal protection is Terra Nova National Park, designated a RASC Dark-Sky Preserve on March 12, 2018, where Parks Canada committed to adjusting, retrofitting, or removing light fixtures.
