Grimmer Parish, New Brunswick
Grimmer is a civil parish in Restigouche County, New Brunswick, Canada. For governance purposes it is part of the incorporated rural community of Kedgwick, which is a member of the Restigouche Regional Service Commission.

Most of the parish formed the LSD of the parish of Grimmer until its merger with the village of Kedgwick on 1 July 2012 to form the rural community. Origin of name The parish was named in honour of W.C.H. Grimmer, former Surveyor General and Attorney General of New Brunswick. History Grimmer was erected in 1916 from Eldon Parish.

List Of Parishes In New Brunswick
The Canadian province of New Brunswick is divided by the ''Territorial Division Act'' into 152 parishes, units which had political significance as subdivisions of counties until the Municipalities Act of 1966. Parishes still exist in law and include any municipality, rural community, or regional municipality within their borders. They provided convenient boundaries for electoral districts and organising delivery of government services for some time after 1966 but were gradually supplanted for such purposes by local service districts (LSDs), which better represent communities of interest. Local governance reforms scheduled for 1 January 2023 will abolish the local service district as a unit of governance but this will not affect the existence of civil parishes. Parishes are still usedAs of July 2021, by more than a dozen Acts and more than fifty Regulations. to describe legal boundaries for health administration judicial matters, agricultural boards, and some other entities; highwa ...

Office Of The Attorney General (New Brunswick)
The Office of the Attorney General (french: Cabinet du procureur général) is a part of the government of New Brunswick. It is charged providing legal services to all departments and agencies of the government. The post of attorney general is the most senior legal official in New Brunswick and has existed since the creation of New Brunswick as a crown colony in 1784 and for much of contemporary history the attorney general oversaw the Department of Justice carrying the dual title of Minister of Justice, as is currently the case. Loyalist Jonathan Bliss served as the first attorney general, beginning in the late eighteenth century. From 2006 to 2012, the Office of the Attorney General was separated from the Department of Justice. On February 14, 2006 when Premier Bernard Lord restructured the cabinet, largely out of necessity, the basic functions of attorney general were separated from the Justice Department so as to allow Brad Green, the only lawyer in his caucus, to take on a ...

Downs Gulch Aerodrome
Downs Gulch Aerodrome is a privately owned aerodrome located north of Downs Gulch, New Brunswick, Canada. This aerodrome is near an area of the Restigouche River valley known for its good salmon fishing; consequently, many private and charter aircraft use this strip as a means of accessing nearby lodges in areas such as Larrys Gulch. There is no available parking for aircraft, only a wider turn-around area mid-runway, so all aircraft must depart after dropping off their passengers.

Intercolonial Railway
The Intercolonial Railway of Canada , also referred to as the Intercolonial Railway (ICR), was a historic Canadian railway that operated from 1872 to 1918, when it became part of Canadian National Railways. As the railway was also completely owned and controlled by the Government of Canada, the Intercolonial was also one of Canada's first Crown corporations. Origins The idea of a railway connecting Britain's North American colonies arose as soon as the railway age began in the 1830s. In the decades following the War of 1812 and ever-mindful of the issue of security, the colonies of Upper and Lower Canada (later the Province of Canada after 1840) wished to improve land-based transportation with the Atlantic coast colonies of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and to a lesser extent Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. A railway connection from the Province of Canada to the British colonies on the coast would serve a vital military purpose during the winter months when the waters o ...
