Rural Revival

CloseKnit is a call to all of the dreamers out there who see possibilities in rural communities. CloseKnit is a network of entrepreneurs and community organizations on the Bonavista Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador who are part of rural rejuvenation, building strong and vibrant communities on their own terms. CloseKnit is an initiative led by the Bonavista Trinity Regional Chamber of Commerce that is inviting those looking for opportunity and adventure. Opportunities are here. Are you?

We are the builders.

We are the entrepreneurs who create, make, and service communities. We stretch and shape the future, and stay grounded by our home. Together, we build a future that inspires and supports those who dream big in this beautiful place.

The Bonavista region is the land of positive stubbornness- it is part our culture to deal with what comes, be resilient, and to build our own future.

We are attracting entrepreneurs, artists, makers, digital nomads, and people to Bonavista every year and to #escapethecity. There is opportunity here - to build a life that inspires with the supports to make your own way.

Join a movement that builds a vibrant, innovative, rural future. It’s #bayorbust
