Terrenceville is a small fishing village located on the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland, Canada, south west of Swift Current. ==History== Terrenceville was known as Head of Fortune Bay and/or Fortune Bay Bottom until 1905. The community was renamed in honor of former governor Sir J. Terence O'Brien at the suggestion of the Parish Priest of the area. Today Terrenceville consists of mainly the descendents of the first settlers. Terrenceville was served by the C.N.R. The population was 300 in 1940; 424 in 1951 and 521 in 1956. Terrenceville in recent years has been a declining community with many families having to uproot for work and other reasons such as lack of post secondary institutions and medical facilities. Many families relocated to Alberta to work for the company CP Rail. Others also for competing work in different divisions in today's booming Albertan economy. More and more young people are now looking at post-secondary education as a way to obtain working careers. Many have gone to Memorial University and obtained degrees, colleges to ascertain trades. This to has led to the decrease in Terrenceville's population and these people are obtaining work in their field of study, but in different parts of Canada, and even the world. For a small community, it has people in many different places. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Terrenceville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
