The province has two sections: Newfoundland, which is an island, and Labrador, on the mainland of Canada. From 1927 to 1965 the name Newfoundland was used both for the island and for the entire province. In 1965 the province's name was changed to Newfoundland and Labrador. Labrador is bounded by Québec on the south, west, and north, by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, and by the Strait of Belle Isle on the southeast.
