Newfoundland Scene is a Canadian documentary film, directed by F. R. Crawley and released in 1951.[1] Shot in 1949 to mark the admission of Newfoundland to Canadian Confederation, the film depicted various scenes of life throughout Canada's newest province.[2]

The film won the Canadian Film Award for Film of the Year at the 1952 Canadian Film Awards.[3]

The film was reissued in the 1970s, with rerecorded narration by Gordon Pinsent and some potentially controversial hunting scenes removed.[4]
