The Western Star editorializes:

In one case, it was suggested a resource centre for prospecting and mineral exploration be set up on the west coast. While that would be great, the costs involved would likely be tremendous. A further suggested solution was to have small resource centres set up in either libraries or at campuses of the College of the North Atlantic, of which there are 17 across the island.

For the record:

We are Newfoundland and Labrador’s public college – one of the largest post-secondary educational and skills training centres in Atlantic Canada, with a history dating back more than 40 years. Today we have 17 campus locations throughout Newfoundland and Labrador and one in the Middle East State of Qatar.
