Rural districts

Rural districts ensure that residents living outside local governments continue to receive important services, such as emergency measures, police, fire, land use planning, animal control, management of dangerous or unsightly premises and solid waste management. These services are coordinated by the provincial government through a rural district manager.

Rural districts have been established to meet another very important purpose: elected representation at the local level for all New Brunswickers. Each rural district has an elected advisory committee.
