For Immediate Release

Business & Arts NL and corporate sponsor Royal Inn + Suites are proud to announce the launch of Labrador’s first #ComePlayWithMeNL public piano at the Goose Bay Airport at 10:30 am, Thursday, December 19, 2019. The event will feature local pianist Matthew Barrett.

“We are happy to place this piano at the Goose Bay Airport for the enjoyment of travellers to and from the region,” said Royal Inn + Suites CEO Andy Turnbull. “This instrument reflects and celebrates the beauty of Labrador and the joy music brings to us all.” The Royal Inn + Suites is Goose Bay’s top-rated hotel and an Indigenous-owned business as a part of the Nunacor group of companies.

This piano was donated by Karl Manuel, in memory of his mother Ethel (Fry) Manuel and father Benoit Manuel, and features artwork by local NunatuKavut artist Charlene Rumbolt . Her design celebrates the beauty of the Labrador landscape, and the richness of life in the Big Land.

The instrument will be premiered as a public piano by local musician Matthew Barrett, Manager of the Lawrence O’Brien Arts Centre.
Additional contributors include Astral Moving and Storage (astral.ms), and Household Movers , who move many pianos, free of charge, for Business & Arts NL every year.

This event is open to the public – please join us!

Testimonials

Our room was a king suite and it was incredibly clean and spacious. The shower was amazing – stand up stall with tons of different jets and even a seat! Complimentary breakfast was perfect for our needs – bagels, cereal, coffee, juice, etc.

The staff are great! The rooms are very comfortable and clean. Conveniently located. Tasty locally baked fresh breads, muffins and the Royal’s very own coffee blend is a great starter to the day. An easy place to stay for business or pleasure!!!!

My business travels take me to Happy Valley Goose Bay quite often throughout the year. The Royal Inn & Suites is my preferred choice of stay…The suites are extremely clean and include many amenities.

I was impressed from the moment I walked into the building. The lobby was bright and welcoming. The breakfast area looked newly renovated with stainless steel appliances.

We toured 5 provinces (8000 km) in 14 days including our main goal of driving around Labrador. Of all the hotels we stayed in this was the best!
