Together, the "twin towns" are known as Labrador West. In the 1960s, Labrador City was founded to accommodate employees of the Iron Ore Company of Canada, and iron ore mining continues to be the primary industry in the town. The Labrador City town motto is Kamistiatusset, a Naskapi word meaning "land of the hard-working people." The Labrador City town crest is that of a snowy owl holding a scroll atop a black spade on a mound of red earth. The symbol represents iron ore mining. The spade is flanked by two caribou. Both snowy owls and caribou are native to the Labrador City area. GovernmentWayne Button, a local chiropractor and long time resident, was elected mayor in the fall of 2017.[4] Previously, Karen Oldford had served as mayor since Janice Barnes resigned in May 2012.[5] Since a 2013 by-election, the federal riding of Labrador seat has been held by Yvonne Jones, a Liberal Party member, while Liberal Graham Letto has represented Labrador in the provincial House of Assembly since 2015. EconomyLabrador City was built around the rich iron ore deposits of the Labrador Trough by the Iron Ore Company of Canada (IOC) in the 1960s. The Carol Project is the major iron ore mining operation for the area.[6] In 2008, IOC and their parent company Rio Tinto announced they would spend $800 million to develop additional mines in the region. However, only a few months after announcing the second phase of their expansion, the project was shelved due to the economic recession and low demand for steel. With the world recovering from the economic crisis, it is believed that IOC will go ahead with their expansion in the near future.[7][8][9][10] The town is serviced by the Wabush Airport, and the airlines flying out of the airport are Air Canada Jazz, Provincial Airlines, Air Inuit and Pascan Aviation. Additionally, the Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway provides freight rail transportation to and from Sept-Îles. The town contains an ice arena, the Labrador City Arena[11] and a ski club, the Menihek Nordic Ski Club.[12] The main shopping centre in the town, the {{convert|246,923|sqft|m2|adj=on|order=flip|0}} Labrador Mall, includes a Walmart; there is also an IGA grocery store.[13] Owned by the Westcliff Group, the mall opened in 1978 and is the largest shopping mall in Labrador; it is also the only enclosed mall.[14][15][16][17] There is a Masonic lodge in Labrador City, [https://freemasonry.nf.ca/l1707.html Lodge Anik No 1707] of the [https://freemasonry.nf.ca/index.html District Grand Lodge of Newfoundland and Labrador] of the Grand Lodge of Scotland In the nearby community of Wabush, there is another Masonic lodge, Northern Lights No 20, on the roll of the Grand Lodge of Newfoundland and Labrador.

LandmarksThe Basilica of our Lady of Perpetual Help is located here. ClimateWabush and Labrador City features a harsh subarctic climate, with heavy year-round precipitation due to the strong Icelandic Low to the east driving cold, moist and unstable air onto the region. Snowfall, as is typical for the province, is very heavy for seven months each year and depths can reach as high as {{convert|218|cm|in|2}}. Despite its moderate latitude around the same as cities like Amsterdam, its annual mean temperature is 13 °C colder.{{citation needed|date=June 2017}} {{Weather box|location = Wabush (Wabush Airport, normals from 1981−2010) |metric first = Y |single line = Y |Jan maximum humidex = 7.7 |Feb maximum humidex = 5.9 |Mar maximum humidex = 14.6 |Apr maximum humidex = 16.9 |May maximum humidex = 35.0 |Jun maximum humidex = 37.1 |Jul maximum humidex = 39.0 |Aug maximum humidex = 35.3 |Sep maximum humidex = 32.2 |Oct maximum humidex = 22.6 |Nov maximum humidex = 13.8 |Dec maximum humidex = 6.5 |year maximum humidex = 39.0 |Jan record high C = 8.0 |Feb record high C = 6.2 |Mar record high C = 14.7 |Apr record high C = 16.8 |May record high C = 28.4 |Jun record high C = 33.3 |Jul record high C = 32.6 |Aug record high C = 30.6 |Sep record high C = 27.8 |Oct record high C = 21.1 |Nov record high C = 12.2 |Dec record high C = 5.6 |year record high C = 33.3 |Jan high C = -16.7 |Feb high C = -14.2 |Mar high C = -6.7 |Apr high C = 1.5 |May high C = 9.6 |Jun high C = 16.1 |Jul high C = 19.1 |Aug high C = 17.6 |Sep high C = 11.8 |Oct high C = 3.8 |Nov high C = -4.2 |Dec high C = -12.6 |year high C = 2.1 |Jan mean C = -22.2 |Feb mean C = -20.6 |Mar mean C = -13.3 |Apr mean C = -4.3 |May mean C = 4.0 |Jun mean C = 10.3 |Jul mean C = 13.8 |Aug mean C = 12.5 |Sep mean C = 7.6 |Oct mean C = 0.5 |Nov mean C = -8.2 |Dec mean C = -17.5 |year mean C = -3.1 |Jan low C = -27.8 |Feb low C = -27.0 |Mar low C = -19.8 |Apr low C = -10.0 |May low C = -1.7 |Jun low C = 4.4 |Jul low C = 8.3 |Aug low C = 7.4 |Sep low C = 3.3 |Oct low C = -2.9 |Nov low C = -12.0 |Dec low C = -22.5 |year low C = -8.4 |Jan record low C = -45.7 |Feb record low C = -47.8 |Mar record low C = -46.7 |Apr record low C = -37.2 |May record low C = -21.7 |Jun record low C = -11.1 |Jul record low C = -6.7 |Aug record low C = -0.6 |Sep record low C = -7.0 |Oct record low C = -21.7 |Nov record low C = -33.1 |Dec record low C = -46.1 |year record low C = -47.8 |Jan chill = -62.8 |Feb chill = -57.1 |Mar chill = -52.6 |Apr chill = -41.8 |May chill = -32.6 |Jun chill = -9.6 |Jul chill = 0.0 |Aug chill = -6.2 |Sep chill = -13.9 |Oct chill = -25.6 |Nov chill = -43.9 |Dec chill = -59.5 |year chill = -62.8 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 49.2 |Feb precipitation mm = 40.3 |Mar precipitation mm = 54.1 |Apr precipitation mm = 48.8 |May precipitation mm = 53.5 |Jun precipitation mm = 82.7 |Jul precipitation mm = 113.9 |Aug precipitation mm = 103.5 |Sep precipitation mm = 96.5 |Oct precipitation mm = 75.7 |Nov precipitation mm = 70.9 |Dec precipitation mm = 50.4 |year precipitation mm = 839.5 |rain colour = green |Jan rain mm = 0.6 |Feb rain mm = 1.6 |Mar rain mm = 2.6 |Apr rain mm = 12.1 |May rain mm = 40.4 |Jun rain mm = 80.6 |Jul rain mm = 113.9 |Aug rain mm = 103.4 |Sep rain mm = 92.3 |Oct rain mm = 42.0 |Nov rain mm = 10.9 |Dec rain mm = 2.5 |year rain mm = 502.9 |Jan snow cm = 63.8 |Feb snow cm = 50.9 |Mar snow cm = 65.9 |Apr snow cm = 44.3 |May snow cm = 14.4 |Jun snow cm = 2.1 |Jul snow cm = 0.0 |Aug snow cm = 0.1 |Sep snow cm = 4.4 |Oct snow cm = 39.0 |Nov snow cm = 77.5 |Dec snow cm = 66.2 |year snow cm = 428.7 |unit precipitation days = 0.2 mm |Jan precipitation days = 17.3 |Feb precipitation days = 14.6 |Mar precipitation days = 16.0 |Apr precipitation days = 14.2 |May precipitation days = 15.2 |Jun precipitation days = 17.1 |Jul precipitation days = 19.0 |Aug precipitation days = 20.0 |Sep precipitation days = 20.5 |Oct precipitation days = 20.1 |Nov precipitation days = 20.4 |Dec precipitation days = 19.3 |year precipitation days = 213.7 |unit rain days = 0.2 mm |Jan rain days = 0.44 |Feb rain days = 0.78 |Mar rain days = 1.4 |Apr rain days = 3.8 |May rain days = 11.9 |Jun rain days = 16.4 |Jul rain days = 19.0 |Aug rain days = 20.0 |Sep rain days = 19.7 |Oct rain days = 10.5 |Nov rain days = 3.9 |Dec rain days = 1.0 |year rain days = 109.0 |unit snow days = 0.2 cm |Jan snow days = 17.7 |Feb snow days = 15.0 |Mar snow days = 16.4 |Apr snow days = 12.3 |May snow days = 6.0 |Jun snow days = 1.2 |Jul snow days = 0.04 |Aug snow days = 0.07 |Sep snow days = 2.5 |Oct snow days = 13.9 |Nov snow days = 19.7 |Dec snow days = 19.7 |year snow days = 124.6 |Jan sun = 98.0 |Feb sun = 132.2 |Mar sun = 151.3 |Apr sun = 180.1 |May sun = 210.6 |Jun sun = 212.5 |Jul sun = 218.0 |Aug sun = 202.7 |Sep sun = 116.6 |Oct sun = 75.4 |Nov sun = 56.9 |Dec sun = 67.3 |year sun = 1721.4 |Jan percentsun = 38.6 |Feb percentsun = 47.6 |Mar percentsun = 41.2 |Apr percentsun = 43.1 |May percentsun = 43.0 |Jun percentsun = 42.1 |Jul percentsun = 43.0 |Aug percentsun = 44.4 |Sep percentsun = 30.6 |Oct percentsun = 22.9 |Nov percentsun = 21.7 |Dec percentsun = 28.3 |year percentsun = 37.2 |source 1 = Environment Canada[20] |date=September 2011 }} See also
