The Bell Island Song tells the sad story of thousands of Islanders forced to leave their beloved homeland in search of work, when the iron ore mines closed nearly half a century ago.
Just talk with any Bell Islander today and you'll hear colourful tales of miners, pirates and deadly torpedo attacks... some great Newfoundland stories about Bell Island's annual Accordion Idol competition too! Watch Always a Bell Islander by Janie Robinson, J-Walk Travel Media Productions and read Janie's companion Toronto Star travel story A chilling tale of Newfoundland and Nazis
