Harvey Rural Community was officially established on January 1, 2023, as a result of New Brunswick’s comprehensive local governance reform. This marked one of the most substantial local governance restructurings in the province’s history, aiming to modernize the system, reduce redundancies, and provide better service delivery.
Harvey Rural Community was officially formed by amalgamating the Village of Harvey with parts of four local service districts – Manners Sutton, Dumfries, Prince William, and Kingsclear.
This amalgamation allowed the community to pool resources, better manage service delivery, and provide a more unified voice for its residents. The Harvey Rural Community now represents a diverse and dynamic entity, better equipped to face the future’s challenges and opportunities.
