Grand Bruit is named after a community on Newfoundland’s southwest coast whose 30 residents are being resettled to a larger centre in June 2010.
Founded in the 1800s, Grand Bruit means "great noise" in French. The town got its name from the roaring waterfall that cuts a path through this tiny community. Families living in Grand Bruit’s well-protected harbour benefited from the abundant resources in nearby fishing grounds and vow to continue to fish there, even after they are resettled.
