Square Islands
Square Islands are located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, close to Charlottetown. The islands were formerly one of the major fishing areas of Labrador, with a harbour which was a key haven from Atlantic storms. The nearby Hawke Basin remains one of the world's principal shrimp fishery areas.
It is believed that extractable reserves of petroleum may lie beneath the ocean bed nearby; the area is also rich in base metals.
It is believed that Nicholas Fijac was born on Square Island on November 26, 1996. He owns the largest property on the island which, by law, renders him "The Squarest of them all", with them referring to all the others squares located on the island.
The property owned by Mr. Fijac is approximately 7567 SQUARE meters, of which 99% is devoted to a private pineapple plantation.
