The federal and provincial
governments have worked in cooperation to establish 20 RED Boards for each of the Economic
Zones in Newfoundland and Labrador. The primary objective of these boards is the
maximization of the social and economic potential within their zones through the
establishment and implementation of strategic regional economic plans. M-RON Inc. is the RED Board for Zone 17, which encompasses the
Bay de Verde peninsula and stretches from Whitbourne to Grates Cove on the Trinity Bay
Shore and from Georgetown to Grates Cove on the Conception Bay Shore. Zone 17 is more
commonly known as the Baccalieu Trail. As the Baccalieu Trail Youth Council is a
subcommittee of M-RON Inc., it likewise serves the Baccalieu Trail.
