Mainland (known in French as La Grand'Terre) is a local service district and designated place in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
The community is home to one of six Francophone schools in the province, Centre Scolaire et Communautaire Ste-Anne (École Sainte-Anne), which serves students from kindergarten to grade 12.
Local folklore is that it was given the name, as it appears to glow red during sunset at a certain point in the year.

[3] After a successful community fundraising campaign, Bell Mobility agreed to install a cellphone tower to serve Mainland and nearby Three Rock Cove.
