Red Island is a former village about 12 miles northwest of Placentia, Newfoundland and Labrador in Placentia Bay. It had five families in 1864, and had a population of approximately 350 in the 1945 census1. The village of 283 was depopulated in October 1968, during the provincial government's Resettlement Program. In modern times, many people have cabins there and use it as a summer retreat.
