'''Happy Valley-Goose Bay''' ([[Inuit languages|Inuit]]: ''Vâli'')<ref>Issenman, Betty. ''Sinews of Survival: The living legacy of Inuit clothing''. UBC Press, 1997. pp252-254</ref> is a town in the province of [[Newfoundland and Labrador]], Canada.

Located in the central part of [[Labrador]] on the coast of [[Lake Melville]] and the [[Churchill River (Atlantic)|Churchill River]], Happy Valley-Goose Bay is the largest population centre in that region with an estimated 8,040 residents in 2021. Incorporated in 1973, it comprises the former town of Happy Valley and the Local Improvement District of Goose Bay. Built on a large sandy plateau in 1941, the town is home to the largest military air base in northeastern North America,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.movingforces.com/cfb-goose-bay|title=FUN FACTS ABOUT GOOSE BAY, NL|website=movingforces.com|access-date=24 March 2021}}</ref> [[CFB Goose Bay]].<ref name=CFBGB-length>{{cite web|url=http://www.strategic-air-command.com/bases/Goose_Bay_AFB.htm|title=SAC Bases: Goose Bay Air Base|website=strategic-air-command.com|access-date=24 March 2021}}</ref> 

==History==
In the summer of 1941, Eric Fry, an employee of the [[Natural Resources Canada|Canadian Department of Mines]] and Resources on loan to the [[Royal Canadian Air Force]], selected a large [[sand]]y [[plateau]] near the mouth of the [[Goose River (Labrador)|Goose River]] to build the Goose Bay Air Force Base. Docking facilities for [[transport]]ation of goods and personnel were built at Terrington Basin.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.heritage.nf.ca/articles/politics/goose-bay-base.php | title=Goose Bay }}</ref>

[[CFB Goose Bay|Goose Air Base]] became a landing and refueling stop for the [[North Atlantic air ferry route in World War II#North Atlantic Route|Atlantic Ferry route]]. Soon after the site was selected, men from the coast of [[Labrador]] began working on the base. With World War II in bloom, it took only five months to build an operational military airport on the leased territory.

The first [[settlers]] to the area came from coastal Labrador to work with McNamara Construction Company, which was contracted to build the Goose Bay Air Force Base. Their first choice was Otter Creek, where they were told that it would be too close to the base. A new location was chosen based upon the requirement to be at least five miles (8&nbsp;km) from the base. In 1942, a new site was chosen that was first called Refugee Cove; it was not until 1955 that it eventually was renamed Happy Valley.<ref name="one">Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador, Volume Two, (p 797) {{ISBN|0-9693422-2-5}}</ref>

The first three families to arrive to work at the construction of the base were the [[Saunders]] from [[Davis Inlet]], the [[Broomfield (surname)|Broomfield]]s from Big Bay, and the [[Perrault (surname)|Perrault]]s from [[Makkovik]].

Happy Valley's first school was operated by a Mrs. Perrault from her home until 1946, when the Royal Canadian Air Force donated a building. The old one-room school was bought by Bella and Clarence Brown in early 1962 and turned into a family residence. In 1949, the Air Force donated a second building which became the North Star School. Mrs. Perrault became Happy Valley's first librarian also. Bella Brown took over as Happy Valley's librarian when the North Star School's second building was donated as the new library.

The [[Grenfell Mission]] operated the first medical facilities when it opened a nursing station in 1951.  In 1963, the provincial government built Paddon Memorial Hospital.

==Geography==
Happy Valley-Goose Bay lies at the southwest end of Lake Melville near the mouth of the Churchill River. The town is located on the southern shore of a peninsula created by Terrington Basin to the north and Goose Bay at the south.

===Climate===
Happy Valley-Goose Bay displays a [[humid continental climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Dfb'') right on the borderline with a [[subarctic climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Dfc''), marked by significant snowfall in the winter, which has average highs around {{convert|-12|C|F|abbr=on}}. Summer highs, on the other hand, average {{convert|20|C|F|abbr=on}}. The average high temperature stays near or below freezing for five months of the year and the low does so for eight months.<ref name = "climate" /> Snowfall averages nearly {{convert|460|cm|in|sigfig=2}} per year, and occurs in all months except July and August.<ref name = "climate" /> Precipitation, at nearly {{convert|950|mm|in|1}}, is significant year-round and is heavy for a continental climate at its latitude.<ref name = "climate" />

{{further|CFB Goose Bay}}
{{unreferenced section|date=June 2015}}
CFB Goose Bay saw a reduction of [[NATO]] low-level tactical flight training in the decade 1996–2005, and the town faced an uncertain future as the federal government reduced the number of permanent [[Royal Canadian Air Force]] personnel to fewer than 100 all-ranks. The last NATO nations to use CFB Goose Bay for flight training, Germany and Italy, did not renew their leases after terminating in early 2006.

The runway at Happy Valley-Goose Bay was also an alternative, but unused, landing site for the now-decommissioned [[NASA]] [[Space Shuttle]], because of its size and length.<ref name=CFBGB-length/><ref name="STSCanada">{{cite web|title=Trasnport Canada NASA Space Shuttle Emergency Landing Site Contingency Plan |url=http://www.tc.gc.ca/Publications/en/TP12952/PDF/HR/TP12952E.pdf|publisher=Transport Canada|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130517012846/http://www.tc.gc.ca/Publications/EN/TP12952/PDF/HR/TP12952E.PDF|archivedate=17 May 2013}}</ref>

== Local Improvement District of Goose Bay ==
Prior to its amalgamation with Happy Valley, the Local Improvement District of Goose Bay was set up in 1970 and included an area called Spruce Park and the Canadian Department of Transport Housing areas. It grew to include other areas of the base until 1973, when it comprised all of the base area. In the present day, the district carries out education and welfare projects in neighborhoods like Learning Street, Mesher Street and White Crescent. These areas are notable for high crime rates and have been compared to neighborhoods in other cities such as the [[Parkway Garden Homes|Parkway Garden Homes (O Block)]] in Chicago.

The 2011 census showed that Happy Valley-Goose Bay has outgrown [[Labrador City]] and is now the largest community in Labrador. However, [[Labrador West]] (a region consisting of Labrador City and a nearby community, [[Wabush]]) still has a higher population than Upper Lake Melville (which includes Happy Valley-Goose Bay and 3 nearby communities)<ref>{{cite web|title=2011 Census Population, Census Consolidated Subdivisions (CCS) by Community : Newfoundland and Labrador|url=http://www.stats.gov.nl.ca/statistics/Census2011/PDF/Pop_CCS_2011.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131126071842/http://www.stats.gov.nl.ca/statistics/Census2011/PDF/Pop_CCS_2011.pdf|archive-date=26 November 2013|access-date=9 August 2018|website=Stats.gov.nl.ca}}</ref>

== Transportation ==
=== Road ===
Happy Valley and Goose Bay are connected by the [[Trans-Labrador Highway]] with [[Labrador City]] and [[Baie-Comeau]] in Quebec. The road was extended south to link with an existing road from the [[Blanc Sablon, Quebec|Blanc Sablon]]-St Barbe ferry. It opened in December 2009.

Prior to 1954, hardly any [[licence plate]]s were issued to Labrador communities except for Happy Valley and the Goose Bay area. A series of small plates were issued to help fund road development. It was not until the mid-1960s that all of Labrador started using regular Newfoundland licence plates.<ref name="three">{{cite web|title=History of Newfoundland Licence Plates|url=http://www.canplates.com/nfld.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010417092047/http://www.canplates.com/nfld.html|archive-date=17 April 2001|access-date=9 August 2018|website=Canplates.com}}</ref>

Since 1992, the road from Baie-Comeau to Wabush was connected to an open route year-round to Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

=== Water ===
The town was serviced by boat and container ship to the ports from Newfoundland and the port of Montreal. Most of the town's supplies were transported by container vessels brought to the docking facilities located at Terrington Basin. These facilities were operated by [[Transport Canada]]. The shipping season usually lasted from June to December. In the summer, a [[ferry]] service connects Happy Valley-Goose Bay with [[Cartwright, Newfoundland and Labrador|Cartwright]].

=== Air ===
[[Air Canada]] and [[Eastern Provincial Airways]] were the first air carriers in the area to carry passengers from outside the area into [[CFB Goose Bay]]. [[Air Labrador|Labrador Airways Limited]] provided air transportation to local communities. Located at Otter Creek is a seaplane base that also provided airlifts to local communities and tourist lodges in the interior of Labrador.
