Le Gaboteur


Le Gaboteur is a Canadian newspaper, published in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. The province's only French language newspaper, the publication serves the Franco-Newfoundlander community as well as the nearby French territory of St. [Pierre and Miquelon].
The paper was established in 1984 in St. John's by the Fédération des Francophones de Terre-Neuve et du Labrador, and moved to Stephenville in 1987 to be closer to the province's primary francophone settlements on the Port [au Port Peninsula]. The publication later moved its offices back to St. John's in the early 2000s.
Originally launched as a monthly publication, Le Gaboteur expanded to a biweekly in 1986.
In 2014, to mark the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I, the newspaper published a special edition commemorating the Franco-Newfoundlanders who had served in the war.
