Harbour Grace CS Inc (HGCS) was founded in 1994 by people interested in fishing and harvesting fish. It is now one of the major employers in Harbour Grace. Harbour Grace was one of the most important fishing towns for decades and was a base for operation in Labrador until early 1900. HGCS was built next to the site of a former large fish plant—a fillet factory, fishmeal factory, etc. - which simultaneously employed up to 600 people.
Harbour Grace was founded in 1517 by Francis I of France. It has been strongly connected to the fishing industry since the 1500s. It was the last place of departure in North America for the pioneers flying from North America to Europe—one of the most famous pilots was Ms. Amelia Earhart, whose flight across the Atlantic began in 1932. Harbour Grace has a current population of about 2,800 people. There are efficient service facilities in the town and surrounding area. The distance to St. John´s - the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador is only 100km via the highway.
