Government
Karen Oldford has served as mayor since Janice Barnes resigned in May 2012.
Since the 2011 election, the federal riding of Labrador seat has been held by Peter Penashue, a Conservative Party member. The Labrador City town crest features a Snowy Owl holding a scroll perched atop a black spade on a mound of red earth, symbolizing iron ore mining. The spade is flanked by two caribou. Both Snowy Owls and caribou are native to the Labrador City area.
The Labrador City town motto is Kamistiatusset, a Naskapi word meaning "land of the hard-working people."
