The inhabitants of a fishing village on the remote south coast of Newfoundland are to pack their bags - for good. The government supports the relocation with 270,000 dollars per household, maintaining public infrastructure would be even more expensive. 

Gaultois is one of five communities along the south coast of Newfoundland that are not accessible by road - to get there, you have to take a ferry or helicopter. 100 of the original 700 inhabitants still live here. But the place is by no means "dead". Despite its fading glory, the community in Gaultois still exists. In 2023, there will be a new vote on the continued existence of Gaultois - but the village is torn apart.
