Northside unfurls along the rugged Newfoundland coastline, a place where the land seems to hold its breath against the relentless push of the Atlantic. It lies 37.4 km north of Placentia, NL (from Placentia, NL: bearing 357°T), and is situated 8.4 km west-north-west of Tickle Harbour Station. Rolling hills, cloaked in a mosaic of hardy spruce and windswept fir, descend towards the choppy grey waters, their slopes etched with the faint scars of ancient glacial retreat. Here, the air carries the bracing tang of salt and damp earth, a constant reminder of the sea's proximity, and the light, especially in the late afternoon, can fall with a peculiar, luminous quality, catching the mist that often drifts in from the ocean and softening the sharp edges of the world. The terrain is a study in resilience, where pockets of fertile soil are wrested from the stone, supporting resilient gardens and the occasional hardy livestock. The history of Northside is deeply intertwined with the bounty and peril of the sea, a narrative of fishing families who have carved out a life on this exposed edge of the continent for generations. The economy, while diversifying, still leans heavily on the traditional fishing industry, with lobster boats and cod trawlers dotting the harbour, their weathered hulls a testament to countless voyages. Echoes of past hardships and triumphs are whispered in the very stones of the older homes, built with a sturdiness that defies the persistent winds. This enduring spirit is palpable in Northside, in the quiet camaraderie of neighbours and the shared understanding of a life lived in close communion with the elements.
