| Description | Takes in the southwestern corner of Newfoundland, stretching from the town of Burgeo in the east to Cape Ray in the west. Its largest community, Port aux Basques, is the island's link to continental North America through the Marine Atlantic ferry service. The district, especially the town of Burgeo, has been hit hard by the closure of groundfisheries.
The population in the region dropped by about 15 per cent between 1996 and 2001. The size of the district grew significantly in the 2007 redistribution as the eastern border pushed out an extra 37 kilometres. The other boundaries changed only slightly.
Communities include: Burgeo, Burnt Islands, Cape Ray, Channel-Port aux Basques, Diamond Cove, Fox Roost, Grand Bruit, Harbour Le Cou, Isle aux Morts, La Poile, Long Grade, Margaree, Petites and Rose Blanche.
